Brandon Green commented on Jill R.'s group Oregon Birders"I've had relatively few RB Nuthatches in my Eugene yard this fall/winter. When we moved into this house in August, they were pretty frequent feeder/bath visitors. But their numbers fell significantly when October rolled around.…"

"Has anyone seen, or anyone heard of someone seeing the flock of Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks that are showing up in the Valley/along the coast??"
Weather
It is so warm here its ridiculous. It might as well be spring. i've even seen bulbs thinking about popping up. The birds are going to be terribly confused when/if we get a big snowstorm late in the spring, last year it was snowy/rainy bad weather until the middle of June......i wish we weren't sick all the time so i could start cleaning up my flower beds and my herb gardenSee More
"just had a sharp-shined hawk land in a tree about 20 feet away from me, right in our drive way.....was very cool to see so close. he only stayed about 45 seconds, long enough for me to cal my hubby out of his "man cave" to get to see…"

"I wouldn't give up Eastern Oregon for the world. Born and raised and i am 7th generation of my family to live in the john day valley, my kids are the 8th generation. i wish i had taken the oppurtunity while i was there (portland) to bird…"
"I haven't had as many birds at the suet this winter, i think because its so mild. Sometimes we have nutcrackers, most of the time nuthatches, flickers, juncos and chickadees.....the magpies haven't rediscovered the suet yet....."
Jenny Jones commented on Jill R.'s group Oregon Birders"I get a lot of birds at my suet feeders. Especially in winter, I think they really need the protein they get from the suet."

a little about me
So I found this site while looking up info for our Bird Club Newsletter for the Great Backyard Bird Count. It looked like fun to be with like minded people. I got interested in birding when we bought our house and the previous owner left bird feeders. Being a stay at home mom, I thought it would be fun. Now my daughter and I are both members of the Grant Co. Bird Club and love it!

Donald Gudehus said… We are visiting in the Bay area of CA. Saw goldfinches and junkos at a suet feeder, Mallards, American Cootes, and a female Wigeon at Foothills Park, and crows and seagulls around town.

Deana Thurston said… She is actually the daughter of some friends. The peacock is one they raised. They used to raise cranes & wood rails too. They had a very tame Lesser Sand Hill that would dance with you. She was awesome! She flew off one day when a flock of sand hills came over their house and did not return. I see a friend of mine is a friend of yours. Donna Hooker. She is an awesome artist and has painted one of our wood ducks on leaves.
