I sent out the wrong date for the Eugene Christmas Bird Count - it is Sunday, December 30 - not December 26. The count on December 26 is the Brownsville Count. Sorry about the confusion.

The street crews were here at 1130 PM until about 1:30 AM running chain saws, using a back hoe and dropping large logs into a metal truck, so I had a bit of a time sleeping. The darned wind blowing scared me a bunch and that didn't help sleeping either. I wondered how you fared in terms of trees falling, etc. I think our street has the tunnel effect. I read tonight that the Governor has declared a state of emergency for the entire coast. Have you been able to be in contact with Linda's family? The SE Milwaukie area has a lot of flooding along Johnson Creek and nothing at the coast sounds good.

It turned out to be a beautiful, warm morning with off and on sunshine. Birds were fairly quiet, and when I reached the pond it seemed to be be totally deserted, but before I left I had two herons, pied billed grebes, half a dozen buffleheads, cormorants, and mallards. Did a loop around by the river and back: three belted kingfishers, six robins, a bunch of song sparrows, scrub jay, crows, gulls (ring-billed?) wigeons, and some other sparrows not further identified. Not too bad for a fairly rapid walk. Elliot On Monday, December 3, 2007, at 10:38 PM, Hansen Judie wrote: > I'm a wimp - I admit it.....

We'll be making it a two day trip to St. Helena. Bad weather either way, mountains or coast. Then we will be at Doug's (no TV - bad for kids).Doug's family is going to Hawaii. Marion and Sara arrive the 24th and we'll make up some kin of Chriistmas celecration. Marion and Sara will likely then go to San Francisco to stay with friends for some period of time. All very unplanned. M's been in NY with her boyfriend visiting his family and she said it's been wonderfully unswedish. Don't have take your shoes off when you come inside, everyone is noisy and interupts everyone else. Jolly good change. Have a merry holiday!

We are heading out the door, so I might miss your call back. I hope you have a good trip south and that the sun will decide to defy the rain. I am taking Marika to the lab this afternoon for her to have an MRI on her brain. She is claustrophobic and will be taking a sedative and shouldn't drive. I haven't been to the place we are going - out past Gateway some place. Let me know how things are going at Doug's and have a lovely visit with Marian - it is always a joy to be around our daughters. I wish I were seeing Jodi. We are having a very quiet holiday. Betts has invited us over for Christmas Eve dinner. We will have breakfast Christmas AM with Dave and family before they drive up to see Harry. Dave and I will be doing Christmas bird counts together on the 26th and 30th, so that will be nice. I hope to see you at writing - with or without a written story.

Delivery came and we left on our trip. I thought it was pretty hairy driving. We hit two snow storms and that snow swirling in the dark in your windshield was nervewracking for me. Cecil sailed through it all with the greatest of ease. We spent the night at a Motel 6 in Redding and Maria had my suitcase for a step up to my bed and she used her little piddle pads for her toilet in the night. She has a very active bladder, but really she drinks loads of water. Doug called as their bags were arriving in Kauai and told of nightmarish ticket fuck ups on boarding. They were with another family who also got fucked over and as the wife and children were boarding they stopped the husband and told him he'd have to take a later flight So Doug doesn't know where he is. So now we wait for Marion. No rain here now. That's good. Cecil brought our bikes so tomorrow we'll ride around a bit if it's still not raining.. Aren't you Ms fancy pants getting a Christmas eve invite from Bets. Going to have to buy some groceries and act like a grown up. Tweedly Do to you.

Martha Osgood has now changed the management of the list so that a simple "reply" will not go to the entire list. The only way a message about birding will be sent to everyone is by addressing it to birders at uuegene.org. The only messages that are appropriate will relate strictly to birding and hopefully be one announcement per week. Thank you Martha!

Meet at 8 AM at the Alton Baker Park Parking Lot 9 behind Autzen Stadium. This area continues to produce interesting birds. The group will decide where to have breakfast - probably Fifth Street Market where there is plenty of free parking. We will plan to be there by 10 AM. I will have my cell phone on if you need to find where we are located any time after 7:30 AM - 335-1637 Happy New Year Judie From asraven44 at comcast.net Mon Dec 31 17:09:48 2007 From: asraven44 at comcast.net (Amy Raven) Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2007 15:09:48 -0800 Subject: [Birders] Ride tomorrow morning? Message-ID: <0C8306CB-8881-4467-A4E4-0F527DF44D90@comcast.net> Is there anyone on the Birders list who is planning to go tomorrow morning, who could stop and pick me up? I can't drive for the next 2 months. I'm at 2786 Almaden, just off 28th Ave. between Polk and Chambers in SW Eugene. Finally I DON'T have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and can go again! Thanks - please reply directly to me if you can, at amyctharp at gmail.com.

The weather forecast says low of 26 tonight and more fog - doesn't sound like ideal weather for watching birds. As much as I would love to see you all tomorrow, Ed and I won't be at Alton Baker Parking Lot #9.......I have heard from at least 6 of our regulars that they will be out of town or unavailable - so - I we will meet for birding on Tuesday, January 8 - weather permitting.
