Larry,
Chuck Philo found a Common Poorwill in a clearcut northeast of Newport
on October 6, 1994. He called me, and I was fortunate to be able to
relocate it just before dark the same day.

hi dave,
too bad your poorwill met an early demise. ?i live in oakridge and am a wildlife biologist with the forest service. ?two years ago, i found a common poorwill grounded in oakridge which appeared to have been waterlogged and blown in by a storm. ?it was still alive and i was able to get it the eugene cascacdes raptor center who said that once it dried out it appeared to be fine and they put it on a train back to the eastside where it was successfully released. ?they are amazing birds

Yesterday I reported that Darian and Sarah Murphy Santner found a dead
nightjar in the street in SE Portland. It was picked up at SE 15th
and Ramona on October 29, 2012. I took a closer look at it last night
and determined it is a COMMON POORWILL. This is a pretty interesting
record for location and season, but I was hoping it might turn out to
be something further out of range like a whip-poor-will or perhaps a
Yucatan Poorwill (!)

We spent a fun evening and morning with Magnus Persmark and his wife

BLACK SWIFT at Tumalo Falls (Rosie was the only one in our group that
saw this bird). We then cruised around the side roads on Skyliner where
we ran into plenty of COMMON POORWILLS but dipped on Flammulated Owl.
We also heard a screeching NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL. From there, we went to

Folks,
I've been birding all over Oregon since 1979. I'm working on seeing 200
species in each of Oregon's 36 counties. (I know, that's crazy. Bear with
me.) ;-)
I'm 7 species away from 200 in Hood River county. There are species that I
have seen in all or most of the other 17 Eastern Oregon counties, 45 such
species to be exact. Now, a species that I've seen in all the other 17
counties, e.g. a Magpie, Northern Harrier, should be found in Hood River
county. Right? No

Lake Abert Shorebird Survey for the East Cascades Audubon Society. What
a great place. If you have not been to Lake Abert in August you are

state. Here are a few highlights of the survey:

Yesterday, 7/12/2012, Christie and I took an evening excursion up
Bear Camp Ridge, Josephine Co, Illinois Valley. This is the ridge
that divides the East & West Forks of the Illinois R. The road is
called either Sanger Peak or Waldo Lookout road and is a BLM 7 then
US Forest Service road (#4803) that heads south from Waldo Road (&
into CA in about 5 miles). We were traveling to the very headwaters
of Scotch Gulch which is where we live (further down the

Greetings, Obolists
My wife and I returned Wednesday evening from 7 great days at Malheur and environs.
We detected 137 species. The best bird was a Red-necked Grebe that's been at the Narrows
for around 10 days or so. No vagrant warblers seen, and there was little turnover during
our stay due to hot, relatively stable weather. Many of the species we saw were as
onesies or twosies.

Those of you not regularly checking Noah Strycker's blog reports
from his trip along the Pacific Crest Trail this summer may be
interested to hear that he heard, then called in a COMMON POORWILL
Aug 26 somewhere north of the Santiam Pass and south of Mt Jefferson.
The trail crosses back and forth between Linn and Deschutes Cos.
but he says, "decidedly rare west of the Cascade crest" which implies
Linn County.
I know Joel will be racing up to tick it...

Hi birders,
Yesterday morning, a noisy COMMON POORWILL woke me up before dawn at my campsite on a ridgetop south of Rock Slide Lake, in extreme eastern Linn County (about 20 feet from the county line, actually). I managed to call it in within four feet of my tent with the little speaker on my iPhone, for a nice close view. Anyone know the status of poorwills in Linn County?

Over the weekend, 10 participants enjoyed an OFO field trip to Summer Lake Wildlife Area and Fort Rock area. We enjoyed the common birds of the wetlands and sage while escaping to coniferous forests during the hottest part of the day. We birded with old friends and made some new ones. Everyone had a good time.
Birding behavior highlights included seeing a NORTHERN PYGMY-OWL with a freshly-killed, fledgling DARK-EYED JUNCO. The prey item was mostly out of sight and folks were able to

Mike,
Congratulations on finally seeing a Common Poorwill!
Actually, they are not as hard to see as you might think. The males respond
very strongly to recorded calls, or even to a whistled imitation of the
call, especially early in the season (May). I have had birds literally fly
around my head looking for the "other Poorwill". (I would not encourage
birders to do this on a regular basis, but if someone still

Chuck,
The majority of these dates (those 28 May+) fall right within what I would consider the "normal" arrival window for east of the Cascades. The four dates in the teens should be considered outliers as they are about two weeks ahead of the regular arrivals. Some nightjars go into a torpor and remain north of normal through the winter (i.e Common Poorwill), but I don
