Washington County Bird Highlights: 2006

at his place above Hayward. For everyone else in the county this was a very rare bird. Greg Gillson went up at dusk on May 10 and found this bird for his personal first county sighting. [See September Highlights for an additional sighting.] Earlier in the afternoon, Gillson found 4
Mountain Quail
on a clearcut along Hayward Road. These are usually local and difficult to find in the county.

Short-billed Dowitchers
are rather rare spring migrants in the Willamette Valley. This could be due either to their actual scarcity or to the difficulty in making an accurate identification. Thus the one photographed by Greg Gillson at Fernhill Wetlands on May 6 is noteworthy.
Rare in spring, David Smith found 2
Pectoral Sandpipers
on May 7 at Fernhill Wetlands. [See August and September Highlights for more individuals.]
