Subject: Garganey at Brownsmead, Clatsop Co.

I found what I am reasonablt certain was a female or eclipse male GARGANEY
in a flooded field west of Barendse Rd on Jackson Rd (DeLorme p71,5c). The
bird has the distinctive "double-double" eye/cheek markings, a bright white
chin and throat and the breast is pale gray with dark scallop marks.

Caveat: The Ziaks do have Garganey in an aviary pen about 3 miles away
(as the Garganey flies). I did not have the opportunity to ask if they had
lost any recently, but the pen is a closed structure.

mpatters at orednet.org don't more cattlemen choose to use a proven
method of range management that is more
economically AND environmentally sound.
