Good Day Birders, I have the pleasure to report some new arrivals here in the metropolis of Beaverton. I discovered a CAROLINA WREN two days ago along Victoria street on the forested floodplain of the Beaver River. A RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER arrived last night and was seen at the corner of Parklawn and Beechwood. As I was typing this I was alerted by the sound of a ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK. I went out to see it in the trees at the corner of Parklawn and Beechwood.
