Hey, This morning I had 55 Bohemians [Waxwings..not people ;] feeding on Hackberries within the Thames River Valley, just west of Woodstock. These are the 1st that I know of this fall reported for the SW, so worth keeping an eye out.
Later in the day, at Pittock Lake, I had 43 Sandhill Cranes flying over, high and loud. This is Oxford's 3rd December record. Notable on the lake were a 1st cycle Iceland Gull, 6 Cackling and 3 Snow Geese among the assembled waterfowl and gulls. >From Hwy 59, take Pittock Park Road east to the gates of Pittock CA. Park and >walk in. Alternately, access is possible at various points along the south >shore.
