Hello, this is the Audubon society of Portland Rare Bird Report. This report
was made Thursday April 8. If you have anything to add call Harry Nehls at
503-233-3976.

The LUCY?S WARBLER has apparently left Brookings.

The spring migration is moving toward the main movement from mid-April to
mid-May. Loons, shorebirds, and waterfowl were especially conspicuous during
the week. Several thousand ducks are now gathering in the Coquille Valley.
Seventy two GREAT EGRETS are also in the valley. On April 4, 50 GREATER
YELLOWLEGS were at the Killin Wetlands near Banks.

A BONAPARTE?S GULL and a GREATER SCAUP were at the Fernhill Wetlands April
4. A CASSIN?S VIREO was at Minto-Brown Park in Salem April 1. A HOUSE WREN
was near Jefferson April 3. Good numbers of EVENING GROSBEAKS are now
arriving in Western Oregon. On April 7 a male COSTA?S HUMMINGBIRD was at a
feeder near Brownsville. That day two BLACK-NECKED STILTS were at Fern Ridge
Reservoir.

On April 4 a pair of PURPLE FINCHES and a male LESSER GOLDFINCH were in
LaGrande. A MOCKINGBIRD was in Fields April 7.

That?s it for this week.
