This morning I found a Ross Goose in with about 250 cackling geese on the West side of the bridge as one enters the River S Unit, Ridgefield NWR. Also within the Oregon Ash forest (tour route) I had a forging flock that included 10 ruby-crowned kinglets and one common yellowthroat. Also seen in this group was two brown creeper, a white-breasted nuthatch, a few bc chickadees and several song sparrows and spotted towhees.

I did not see the Ross' at the location mentioned above on the way out but it should be in the area with the cacklers.
