Birders,
On 9/10/98 a hatch year MAGNOLIA WARBLER & a GRAY CATBIRD
were banded at Cold Springs NWR near Hermiston OR; Umatilla County
by refuge personnel led by Sheri Hedsen.

We tried hard to relocate 9/11 without success.
Anybody that wants directions many contact me. The nets are west of the
intake canal.
We did find: (number are conservative estimates)
1 LEWIS' WOODPECKER
1 HAIRY WOODPECKER (a fairly rare migrant)
1000 KILDEER! (actually tried to count them, lots)
1000 WESTERN SANDPIPERS
2 SANDERLING
10 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS! juveniles, heard many times.
4 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS
1 SOLITARY SANDPIPER
30 LESSER YELLOWLEGS
10 GREATER YELLOWLEGS
30 COMMON SNIPE
8 BAIRDS SANDPIPERS
9 SEMI-PALMATED PLOVERS (no Wilson's!)
3 RED-NECKED PHALAROPE
50 LEAST SANDPIPERS
150 WHITE-FRONTED GEESE (probably more, kept moving around)
50 WHITE PELICANS (guess, didn't count)
1 strange partial white CANADA GOOSE (mostly white head & wings)
It was larger the the other Canada's. Leutistic?
4 MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER
10 ORANGE-CR WARBLER
20 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER
3 HOUSE WREN (getting late)
1 BANK SWALLOW (late)

Good Birding,
