Hello, this is the Audubon Society of Portland Rare Bird Report. This
recording was made Thursday March 11. If you have anything to add call Harry
Nehls at 503-233-3976.

The FALCATED DUCK continues to be seen on Kirk Pond near the Fern Ridge Dam..
The LUCY?S WARBLER is still coming to Sheila Chambers hummingbird feeder in
Brookings. The SLATY-BACKED GULL is back along Wireless Road near Astoria.

A female COSTA?S HUMMINGBIRD was reported during the week in Vancouver. A
CARDINAL was seen during the week in Gresham, but is moving around quite a
bit and is not dependable.

RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRDS are now being seen throughout Western Oregon. TREE
SWALLOWS are now back in numbers, VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS are now increasing.

On March 9 a SAY?S PHOEBE was in North Portland. A flock of DUNLIN, a LESSER
YELLOWLEGS, and three GREATER YELLOWLEGS were at the Fernhill Wetlands March
9. A LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE was at Ankeny NWR March 6.

SAY?S PHOEBES, SPOTTED TOWHEES, SAVANNAH SPARROWS, and WESTERN BLUEBIRDS
returned to southeastern Oregon during the week.

That?s it for this week.
