Oak's Bottom - Bird Fest 5.12.12

Bird walks are hit or miss a lot of times... especially with kids involved, but it was a nice time and it's good to see kids take such an interest in birds.

• American Crow
• Oregon Junco
• Osprey
• Anna's Hummingbirds
• Mallards + 6 ducklings
• Great Blue Herons
• Song Sparrows
• Northern Flicker - male
• Bald Eagle + juvenile 
• Wood Ducks + 10 ducklings in tight cluster
• Downy Woodpeckers - doing a mating dance on a branch - quite entertaining! 
• Bushtits
• Spotted Towhee
• American Goldfinches
• Black-Capped Chickadee
• Red-Winged Blackbird

And, of course, I continue to see more and more new species at my country house in Manning, Oregon.  I'll refrain from another new post about it, but I must still list them. :P

• Orange-Crowned Warblers
• Wilson's Warblers
• Vaux's Swifts
• Brown-Headed Cowbirds - male and female
• Cedar Waxwings
• Bald Eagle
• House Wren* -my cousin already made fun of the fact that I hadn't seen one before...but hey better late than never! :)
