Hello, this is the Audubon Society of Portland Rare Bird Report. This report

The North Portland MCCOWN'S LONGSPUR continues to be see. The Woodburn

A group of seven SNOW BUNTINGS was near Sand Lake, south of Tillamook

Good comparisons could be made January 12 between individual female BARROW'S

GYRFALCON was seen again January 15. Another was near Shedd, north of Halsey

On January 12 a PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER was among a flock of KILLDEER near the

northwest of Halsey January 9. Two BURROWING OWLS were along nearby
Blueberry Road the next day.

On January 14 two PACIFIC LOONS and 50 BARROW'S GOLDENEYES were on Foster

Thats it for this week.
