Hi IBLErs,

I got an early morning tip from Missy Arnold that a White-winged Dove was present at the Warm Springs Golf Course. Presumably this is the same individual that’s used the area on and off for a couple of years now. I made it over there a little after 8 and could hear it calling from deep within one of the large pine trees between the clubhouse and the greenbelt, but couldn’t get a visual. It kept going silent as I approached, and must have flown out the backside (towards the clubhouse) as I approached from the greenbelt, because I heard it calling again in some trees on the far side of the clubhouse as well. I ran out of time to try to get a visual on it before I had to get back to work, but others may have better luck.

Thanks for the heads up Missy!

Good birding!

[IBLE] Scissor-tailed Flycatcher

There is a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher near Camas NWR (Jefferson County). It’s on a dirt road that parallels the main entrance road into Camas (2300 north). To get there drive the main road towards Camas, before you get to the headquarters, turn left onto 2200 east then before you get into the refuge turn left onto 2300N. The bird was about a half mile down the road on the north side of the road sort of near the 2nd house on the left.
