Diary
of a
RUSH TO PENNEY'S FOR THE BIG-
Bird Watcher
ff
Sunday, March 30
The only interesting natural history observation that I
made today came at an unusual time. I made it while I was
preaching (for I am a minister). Our church has clear glass
windows and the members often enjoy looking out at the
oak trees. This time as I was preaching at the first service
I saw a big jack rabbit hopping around the flowers and
bushes. I said nothing about it, but was even more surprised
when I saw it again at the second service. Could this have
been the Easter bunny looking the place over in preparation
for the egg hunt a week later? When we first moved here
we saw rabbits quite often but seldom do now that it has
built up more.
Monday, March 31
J. H. and the two ladies in our family antl I had an excel
lent birding trip. In fact we recorded an even 50 species in
less than four hours. We checked some nearby ponds, then
went out Antelope rd. to the intersection with the road to
Brownsboro. From Brownsboro we followed down Little
Butte creek to the Agate rd. bridge. There we took a short
hike through the woods along the creek and found trilliums
and Dutchman's breeches in bloom. We also saw several
birds, including both kinds of kinglets and a brown creeper.!
. Our best birding, though, was closer to town. The pond
at the corner of Springbrook and Roberts rds. had large
. numbers of swallows flying over it. We found three species,
tree, violet green and cliff. The tree swallows have been here
for, a month; J. H. had already seen the violet green which
were more than due; but the cliff swallows were an excep
tionally early arrival. According to "The Birds of Oregon"
by Gabrielson and Jewett, the earliest record for them is
April 8. Fortunately all four of us had good views of them
and could confirm the identification.
Right in town at the corner of Main and Groveland,
where there is a vacant lot, we found two chipping sparrows
with a flock of other birds. This is also an early record but
not as exceptional as the cliff swallows.

I had a phone call about a big white bird that sits on a
little hilltop near the lower end of the string of Hoover lakes
and not far from the Crater Lake highway. I went out to
take a look at it. We found it was a whistling swan, and sure
enough there it was sitting on the top of the little hill. The
man who had called me took us out to see it. We waited be
hind while he went around it and flushed it over toward us.
It headed straight for us, then veered and settled on a little
pond.
The man told us that it came along in December and at
first went around with his domestic geese. Later the geese
chased it away and it began sitting alone on the hill. It often
seems to happen that one or more wild birds will identify
themselves with a domestic flock during the winter and then
Ihey often become quite tame. There is a cackling goose on
the pond oh Springbrook rd. that has also been there since
December. A white fronted goose was on one of those ponds
for a couple of winters. It will be interesting to see whether
this swan and this goose fly north with others of their kind
In the course of the next month or so.
Wednesday, April 2
I saw a robin carrying nesting material. Later in the day
I had the interesting experience of following a gull in my
car as it flew directly over town. I was coming over the
hill from Spring st. on Valley View and then along Grove
land to our place. I saw it first from Spring st. and last as
it flew over our house and on beyond. But I can't put it on
my home list because I couldn't tell what species it was. It
was flying directly south, the opposite direction to the way
you expect birds to be going now.
Friday, April 4
Several more people have asked me or told me about
evening grosbeaks. As noted before there have been more in
the valley this year than any year since we have been here.
And they are still with us. Their large beaks, yellow under
parts and big white wing patches make them quite noticeable.
I also had another call about that blackbird with a white
head, but I had no more time to go and look for it. This time
ft was seen along Stewart near Hamilton T.M.
