Shively Park Transect, Astoria, Clatsop County, Oregon
January 27, 2002, 1000-1045hr

We have about 2 inches of wet slushy snow on the ground.

I took a walk to Shively Park after building a snowpig in
the front yard with Michelle. Most noteable was the adult
BALD EAGLE that came flying through below the treetops at
Shively Park carrying a big stick.

There are at least two ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRDS at the well
kept feeders down the block. This is were a pair most
probably bred last season (in the big holly across from
the feeders).
