Hi Birders -

Tomorrow we will return to Delta Ponds - meet at 8 AM in the Valley  
River Center parking lot behind Gottchalk's/Keifer Kia - in the  
northwest corner along the river.

There have been interesting reports from this area recently, and it  
will be a good way for a refresher on waterfowl.  Perhaps we can use  
our gull skills too.

If you need to reach me, I will have my cell phone turned on after  
7:30 AM.

We will plan to have coffee at Barnes & Noble some time after 9:30 AM.

Judie

This week we will return to Delta Ponds - meet at 8 AM in the  
northwest corner of the parking lot of Valley River Center behind  
Gottchalk's and Kiefer Kia.

Last week we had 500 plus double-crested cormorants on every available  
limb of the trees along the Willamette - they were not the least bit  
affected by all the human activity.  Then an adult bald eagle sailed  
through and there were suddenly no cormorants!  Quite a sight.

We will plan to go to Barnes & Noble for coffee and treats between  
9:30 and 10 AM.

I will have my cell phone turned on after 7:30 AM -  335-1637

Hi Birders -

Time for a change in pace -  tomorrow (Tuesday, February 26) we will  
visit the Watchable Wildlife area at Fern Ridge -  NOT at the end of  
Royal Avenue because they are rebuilding the road and we might get run  
over by huge gravel trucks.

We will meet in the small parking lot on US 126 west of the Eugene  
City limits - drive west past Greenhill, and past Fischer Road.  When  
you pass Fischer Road you will see large metal circles on posts that  
might remind you of huge tennis rackets - the place we are meeting is  
not far past that.  I believe there is a binocular logo on the south  
side of the road that points to the parking lot.   The parking lot is  
about a half mile past Fisher Road.

Meet in the parking lot on the north side of the road at 8 AM.   If  
you drive past a part of the lake you have gone too far.

This walk will allow us to view a lot of waterfowl from the old  
roadbed and the dikes.  We can find some goodies along the old road.

I will have my cell phone turned on after 7:30 AM in case you need to  
find us - 336-1637.

We will plan on having breakfast at the Midtown Food Court (right next  
door to Newman's Fish on Willamette) about 10 AM for those who like to  
sleep in *grin*.

Judie
