June 10, 1941 Woodburn-West Woodburn Woods and Pudding River Weather was perfect 5 to 8:30 A.M. Ideal plus! Robin-- Mourning Dove--Perched on telephone wires. I noticed that those birds I saw in Eastern Oregon had much more showy white edged tail feathers. I could hardly notice them at all in the species near here. Rusty Song Sparrow Shufeldt's Junco--Lots of them in the woods. Some were singing. Chipping Sparrow--Several on the tips of young fir trees. Valley Quail--Spotted one lookout on a log and then flushed a small covey of them. Ruby-crowned Kinglet-- Saw 4 or 5 of them in the darker sections of the woods. Oregon Chickadee -- Cassin Vireo--Many of them calling from the upper limbs of the fir trees. Oregon Towhee--Saw one scratching in the dead leaves in the underbrush Violet-green Swallow--Everywhere Willow Goldfinch--A flock of them in a weed patch by the road. Wherever you find a weed patch, you find Goldfinches, I have found. Russet-backed Thrush--For the first time I got the right angle to see the spots on the breast. I brought it within good looking distance by imitating its very simple call notes. There were many of them at both places. California Creeper--Going up the bark of a Thuja plicata. Bob White--Saw one solitary on an old hay pile. He was standing stiff and straight so he must have been a lookout. Seattle Wren--Again today I was treated to the beautiful song of this bird. Northwestern Flicker--Perched in the top of an old Douglas Fir Mountain Chickadee (Grinnell or Short-tail?) Had the white line over the eye and otherwise looked like the Oregon Chickadee to me. It seems to me that this would be quite a find for the location and the season of the year. Bush Tit (Coast)--Lots of them working over the lower shrubbery and I found one pair at West Woodburn with a nest with 7 eggs in it. Hutton Vireo--Seen in woods at Pudding River. He was with some bush tits and chickadees Brewer Blackbird--?Common China Pheasant--Common Slender-billed Nuthatch--Working the upper limbs of an oak tree. Audubon Warbler--Perched on the upper limbs of a Holodiscus discolor Traill Flycatcher, Little--I confused its calling with that of the Cassin Vireo, and therefor didn't pay any attention to it until I was looking at it and it gave the call. It is a small slim bird, generally olive in color, lighter beneath with a white chin or throat, and grayish wing bars On perched on our back porch roof tonight and gave the same call. Wood Pewee--He called persistently from the upper branches of an ash tree. MacGillivray Warbler--The first I have seen this year. I had forgotten the call and thus when I heard it, I did not recognize the bird. I saw three or four of them yesterday. They were working the branches of a fir and also some of the undergrowth California Purple Finch--One pair feeding on old seeds of an ash tree. Rufous Hummingbird--Gave "love dive" The female was perched on a bush and the male climbed straight up to a height of 50 or 60 feet and then dove straight down toward the ground. There was considerable vibration as he beat his wings to pull out of the dive about one foot above the perched female. Sparrow Hawk--Found him perched on a snag in a forest clearing. They're usually not found in such a place. Chestnut-backed Chickadee--Several of them in the woods at Pudding River Long-tailed Chat--Giving his varied calls from the top of a service berry bush. Western Tanager--Saw one pair flying at each other and then separating. They acted as if they either had a nest or would have one soon. The hummingbird also gave a high note as he was climbing for his dive. Warbling Vireo--In the branches of an Acer macrophyllum. Ash-throated Flycatcher--He has a rich deep call note. Green-backed Goldfinch--Saw several right here in our own back yard. please
