For those interested . . .
I've heard no one having any luck with regard to this bird.
Also heavily twitched over the weekend was an immature Hudsonian Godwit
at the Siuslaw River in Florence.

John Gatchet and I spent most of Saturday morning looking for the Thrasher at
the Tokatee Ranger Station. We were there looking from before 7 a.m. until
about noon. Tim Jansen (sp?) was also there from about 9 a.m. and said he
was going to look all day. Evidently he did not see it either. We talked to
Keith Graves who lives in the residential area there and was the first to see
and identify it. Both times he has seen it, it left flying towards the cliff
face area. Evidently on the 2nd, Anthony Floyd saw it in his yard and it left
flying again towards the cliff face with another bird that looked somewhat
similar to it. The second bird was never seen well. All three sightings were
in the evening between 5 and 7 p.m. The bird has not been relocated since the
2nd. I would imagine it could still be in the area. There is quite a bit of
cliff face brushy area that is possible for it to be in. It is definitly a
shoot and miss type of thing. Hopefully it is still around.
