Fire Station 18 - Marine Drive (near PDX)

Not a place to go birding, but we had heard a Snow Bunting had been hanging around there, so we had to go check it out, obviously.  Check out Elvira's post for the details of the trip.  (Believe me, you will NOT be disappointed!)

• Red-Shouldered Hawk* (we happened upon this out of pure luck because I missed the turn for the fire station.  It was perched on the fence by the road.  So cool!)
• Song Sparrows
• Great Blue Heron
• Killdeer - pair
• Snow Bunting*
• European Starlings
• Various Gulls

*Lifers! (Two lifers in less than an hour!)

Snow Bunting!
 I was so happy to be able to see this bird, let alone get a photo of it, even if the photo is sub-par)

After this we were so reved up, my cousin and I went to Delta Park, where an Acorn Woodpecker has been known the frequent.  No Acorn, but we did see:

• Northern Flicker - male
• Mallards - male and female
• Western Scrub-Jay

But the day wasn't over there...
