Hi Tweeters,

I haven't been on OBOL for a long time and I just checked
recent posts for either of these two birds from the archives
and did not see any reports of either.


Yesterday about noon I saw a Red-necked Phalarope just

north of the Maritime Museum before a squall blew me back
to my car.? I got a lousy but probably identifiable cell phone
photo of it.? This was in Astoria.


On Saturday afternoon I got a fleeting but definable to an
Oriole look at bird on SW Coast Avenue just south of the

Inn at Spanish head in Lincoln City.? There were birds

bathing in a gutter on a large house.? They were jockeying

for position.? Really all I saw was wow that is a bright yellow
bird and look at the black on the chin/upper breast and then

it dove into a large dense shrub never to show itself again.
I waited for quite awhile and nothing...
?

This time of year it could be any of the orioles, I was so
bummed to not get a better look.? I tried again Sat night and?
yesterday morning to no avail.? If someone can forward this

to OBOL if you think anyone might be interested there I

would appreciate it.

Roosting in Kirkland,
Kathy Andrich
