We will wander along the paved path from the community garden, past the dog park and Autzen stadium and through the woods to the bridge over the Willamette and then back to the Community Garden. Should be jumping with spring migrants and we will check out the brown creeper nest. I will have my cell phone turned on after 7:30 AM in case you need to find us - 335-1637. Breakfast will be at Todd's Restaurant at the south end of the Ferry Street bridge - BIG YELLOW ROOF...... Perhaps next week we will check out Fern Ridge. The shorebirds are migrating. Somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 were flying through Tillamook County on Saturday. The move is on!

It sounds like a good time for us to return to Fern Ridge for some birding. On Tuesday we will meet at the west end of Royal Avenue in the parking lot at 8 AM. The road surface is a little uneven from all the big trucks hauling fill to construct the Caspian Tern "island". We will walk out and back to the observation platform. Coffee/breakfast will be at The Daily Bread in Veneta - probably about 10 AM. I will have my cell phone turned on after 7:30 AM - 335-1637 in case you arrive late and need to find us. I hope we will have good weather.

They will be doing Delta Ponds - meet in the northwest corner of the Valley River Center parking lot (behind Kiefer Kia and the Darth Vadar building) at 8 AM. They will be walking north on the bike/pedestrian path. I don't know where they will plan to go for coffee. Have a great time.

I haven't heard of problems at the end of Royal - too bad they are hitting the Fisher area because that is where the black necked stilts and other shorebirds are being found right now.

We will walk out to the pond and then to the Willamette River and back to the parking lot. Breakfast at Todd's Place - 355 E Broadway at the south end of the Ferry Street Bridge. There is a 20% off coupon for Todd's in the Tastings insert of the May 23 Register-Guard, page 19. If you recycle your newspapers, you might still have it. The coupon is for your entire purchase. We should be able to find a nice assortment of birds tomorrow. Hope the weather holds up and it isn't raining. I will have my cell phone turned on after 7:30 AM - 335-1637.
