I went looking for Evening Grosbeak for my Clatsop County life list near Jewell on a beautiful summer morning.
Can you find the Hermit Warbler in the photo above? It was singing away from the top of a tree, see close up below.
Western Tanager
Hamilton Creek Prairie 45.9536,-123.5731
Park at yellow gate about 4 miles west of Jewell on Hwy 202 (east of Lee Wooden Fishhawk Falls County Park), and walk up gravel road.
Northern Goshawk, seen near 3 mile point on Beneke Road 6/30/18. Long tail and broad wings of an accipiter, but very large, and broader body and head than a Cooper's Hawk. No bands on underside of tail. Underside of primaries lighter color than rest of wing. Steady fight, above tops of trees and across an opening in the forest.
