Luxury Birding

Even though the morning was cloudy and overcast, we still put together a great birding trip this morning to Buena Vista Park on the banks of the Willamette River.  In route we made a stop at the Oven Bird Bakery in Independence to pick-up a scrumptious treat to go with our coffee. We had the park to ourselves and set-up our table and chairs, which are always handily available in our van.  We did what in the birding world is called a stationary count. Which in this case was sit in our chairs and eat our bakery item, drink our coffee, and count the birds we could see. It felt pretty luxurious. Here is a link to our bird list.
