Took a drive Saturday which led me to Sauvie Island, Scappoose Bottoms,
and Trojan Nuclear Plant on the Oregon side, and back down I-5 on the
Washington side. Here are some highlights:

Eurasian Wigeon--one male between the Pumpkin Patch and the
Pellet Plant on Sauvie
Peregrine Falcon--chasing a male Pintail (it missed at the entrance to
Oak Isalnd)
Cranes--Numbers rising, best along Oak Isalnd Rd.
Swans--All I identified Saturday were Tundra: several hundred at Sauvie,
100-150 at Burlington Bottoms, a few at Scappoose, about 100 near MM30 on
I-5 near Kalama
RED-THROATED LOON--Bird of the day, a single well-marked individual at
the Salmon Creek COunty Park in Vancouver. This is the swimming lake
which is on the west side of I-5 just north of the 99th Ave. exit. Also
there was a Horned Grebe, 6 pied-billed Grebes, and 3 Cormorants.
