Yesterday we took the Village Birders of Dallas Retirement Village on a birding trip to Adair Wildlife Area. It was a wonderful experience to share a place so special to us. In 2010 and 2011, we worked as Volunteers here at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's District Office. We lived in our RV and Jeanette worked in the Volunteer Coordinators' Office, and I worked on Grounds Maintenace. Of course, we spent most of our free time counting birds and walking our dog, Buster.
This trip with the Village Birders was our first trip of the season without worrying about rain. Earlier trips in April and May involved either just avoiding rain, or actually getting rained on. The group was all smiles on this trip, and everyone used their Merlin phone app to identify a good number of birds. Red-winged Blackbirds, Black-headed Gosbeaks, and Bewick's Wrens were the top songsters. You can look at our eBird Observation List here.
Because of the of the large amount of interest at Dallas Retirement Village, we will be taking a second bus here tomorrow, Thursday June 18th.
