Hello all,

I dropped by the Fort for a very brief 15 minute scan for the WEKI.  No WEKI.

But I did manage to locate a DARK-EYED JUNCO walking along the stone
wall nearest the marsh on the Southwestern portion of the park.  It
may very likely have been a female of the OREGONIAN variety, as I
noticed a great deal of tan on the back and the sides, along with a
slight hood.  I've never seen one of the Oregon DE Juncos, and I
simply did not get a prolonged enough view to call it as such.

If you're in the area, do keep an eye out.

Good Birding,
