Hi Tweeters - I have an assortment of Birding Magazines from 1979
to 1984, plus North American Bird Bander from 1982 to 1990. Most of
the Bird Bander journals are complete volumes, but the Birding
Magazines are not. I'd like to trade for any of the following:

Auk 1970-1974
Condor 1991-1994
J. Field Ornithol. 1988-1991, 1995
Oregon Birds anything pre-1990
Western Birds 1970-1976, 1985-1993
Wilson Bulletin 1988-1994

Was just outside the office (Oregon HWY 34 near the Corvallis golf
course) walking through the OSU ag research fields and the
highlights were: 16 MOURNING DOVES, singing WHITE-CROWNED
SPARROWS, one singing RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, one male
DOWNY WOODPECKER, and one BEWICK"S WREN. GOLDEN-
CROWNED SPARROWS seem to be in short supply, I only saw one.
Large flocks of CANADA GEESE are moving overhead, and 3
DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS flew over as well. I noticed that
some of the goose flocks contained a mix of subspecies - V's of 10-
20 birds had 2 or 3 very small birds mixed in. One flock on the
ground of about 25 birds had at least 4 very small, very dark
birds...duskies?
