What a bird! Are we sure they are not someones pets? We are home
again after a 3 day 980 mile jount to see the BTCU We did along with
many others, thanks to whoever found it first and to all those who
kept us informed untill we also just had to go see for ourselves. We
got 120 species for our 3 days so not a bad week end.
We found a neat place we would like to suggest you bird . We got 45
species in an hour. It is Tygh Valley State Wayside and the 5 mile
section of road east to the Deschutes river. The beauty of the water
falls and the old electric plant are worth the stop.
