10,000 Birds

When, in the smoky afternoons, we repaired down to the river to beat the heat, we found Spotted Sandpipers and Northern Rough-winged Swallows and the odd White-crowned Sparrow coming in for a drink. I didn’t see the mountain goats that lend the town of Mazama its logo, though I did buy a water bottle as a souvenir.

Crows, Ravens, Clark’s Nutcrackers, White-crowned Sparrows and assorted waterfowl were all still present, but that was about it. This can cause up to 20 minute waits, which I put to good use, tracking down this nice shot of a White-crowned Sparrow. I would have to say the most common bird in the park, must be the Common Raven.

What could be plainer than the Eurasian Tree Sparrow ? Random thought: What if I had died a month ago and never heard anything from The Burning Hell, nor the new Mountain Goats song “Training Montage” … Such sad and depressing thinking. Back to real birds.
