Birds in Oregon

Here are a few of the birds I saw in Oregon ...


First up, a male Bufflehead from Astoria

Here's an American Wigeon in Astoria; there were a few there along with the Bufflehead and Scaup, but they kept to themselves.

Here is a male Bufflehead and a female Greater Scaup from a mixed flock in Astoria

Here's a pair (or at least a male and female) Greater Scaup

Here's a Thayer's Gull in flight over Siletz Bay in Lincoln City (I took this out the window of our hotel - the Looking Glass Inn, which had a great location and view)

Here's a raft of Greater Scaup on the Columbia River near Cathlamet, Washington

Here are eight Bufflehead and one Scaup from Astoria

These Wood Ducks were on a small pond off Devil's Lake in Lincoln City; it was behind a restaurant called the Wildflower Café on 101.


Pretty much everything we saw was gulls or crows, but there were a lot of nice ducks as well (as you can see), quite a few eagles, and the occasional finch or blackbird. More in this album.
