The wind has swung around to the SW, so I figured it was time to
start checking the migrant action on Coxcomb Hill (home of the
Astor Column).

Notable arrivals included TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS and a surprisingly
early Sooty-type FOX SPARROW.

Today's count
Band-tailed Pigeon 2
Swainson's Thrush 1
Black-capped Chickadee 6
Bewick's Wren 2
Townsend's Warbler 2
Black-throated Gray Warbler 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Wilson's Warbler 6
Song Sparrow 1
Fox Sparrow 1

Mike Patterson The common view of science is that it is a sort of machine
Astoria, OR for increasing the race's store of dependable facts.
mpatters at oregonvos.net It is that only in part; in even larger part
it is a machine for upsetting undependable facts.
