August 7, 1947, Coffin Butte, near center of Camp Adair, west of 99W. 11 a.m. Pied-billed Grebe - one on Cat-tail-Quarry pond near the highway Vultures - several circling over the area W. Redtails (????) several circling low over the summit of the butte. Didn't look exactly like redtails, and had immature plumage, characterized by prominent dark head and throat, with sharp demarcation between neck and chest, which was light. Sparrow Hawk - female perched on post beside gravel road Cedar Waxwings - pair at the Cattail-Quarry pond Meadowlarks - both adults and young were seen Willow Goldfinches feeding on Thistles, e c. Vesper Sparrows common August 8, 1947, Fern Ridge Reservoir, Lane Co. 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sctd-Brkn Clouds White Pelicans - about 30 seen, scattered well over the S. end. /// With Bill Graf Farallon Cormorants - a few were seen. Blue Herons - plenty of them were seen American Egret - a total of 4 were seen this a.m. We flushed them from the NE side and watched them fly to the south end, a distance of several miles, where we later saw them again. Green Herons - 2 or 3 were seen Cackling Goose - we flushed one from the NE side, and it layed around close, never leaving the vicinity, too far. Mallards - several flushed, all in eclipse plumage, for no full drakes were seen Pintails - again I saw several of these birds. Some males in full plumage "Blue-winged"Teal - of either the Blue-winged or Cinnamon species. 3 were observed resting and preening near the Elmire road, all in the obscure plumage, altho the wing-patches showed up well, no other color differentiation could be made. Wood Ducks - many were seen at various locations around the reservoir. Many up to 2 miles from the nearest ash or oak woods. Vultures - plenty soaring over the area. Marsh Hawk - female flying low over a field, and alit two times in it Sparrow Hawks seen now and then. Bob Whites - a few Valley Quail Pheasants Virginia Rail - I am sure I heard the singular alarm note just once at NE dike area. Coot - several seen at the south end of the reservoir Killdeer - a few seen Hudsonian Curlew - one flew over about 100 yards from Bill and I, and it gave its rather melodius "cur-lew" call as it headed south past us. The bill was not outstandingly long, not being over 4" at all, and the over-all size of the bird was not large enough to warrant our calling it a Long-billed Curlew. Least Sandpipers - as before, this species was around the Elmira road, and were very tame, allowing us to approach with 5 feet of them in "Tangy", the Ford. Many flocks of varied sizes in the vicinity Western Gulls - saw 4 immature birds of the year flying the area, and found one dead at the edge of the road.
