Tweeters,

Since there was finally a rain free morning here in Battle Ground, Clark
County, I decided to do a big sit for about 4 hours from my deck. The
birds were taking advantage of the calm before the storm and were flying
overhead and south:

American Robin: 438
Band-tailed Pigeon: 26 (two flocks)
Violet-green Swallow : 20 (one flock)
Pine Siskin: 92 (probably many more since I heard and didn't see quite a
few flocks)
American Pipit: 15
Purple Finch: 8
Lesser Goldfinch: 3
American Goldfinch: 12
Evening Grosbeak: 12
Yellow-rumped Warbler: 10
Cedar Waxwing: 8
Varied Thrush: 12
gull sp: 6

Bald Eagle: 1
Northern Harrier: 1
Sharp-shinned Hawk: 1

American Crow: 80 (presumably all locals leaving the neighborhood roost)
Scads of Cackling type Geese.

The rain has now returned.

Keep your eyes and ears skyward!

Jim
