The Race Is On....

View of Mt Hood from North Central Oregon

Our first day on the road driving north across Oregon and Eastern Washington. Pleasant day but not that birdy. Stopped at Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge and found it very quiet with only seven Species of bird noted. The following are new additions to the list. My followers at Three Sisters School will see that in the beginning there will be lots of new birds as we tick off all the more common birds. The daily numbers will start to drop off once we have them added.  Tomorrow, Idaho.
