The Trip:
Warm overcast morning, went to Vanport Wetlands to look for Blue-winged Teal or Black-necked Stilts, both of which had been seen there yesterday morning ... nothing ... did pick up two new locale area birds however (Vaux's Swift and Northern Rough-winged Swallow) ... next to Force Lake where we had another two new locale birds (Brown-headed Cowbird and House Sparrow) ... next to the Heron Lakes where we had one new locale bird (Wilson's Warbler) ... finally a stop at the PDX Fire Station and had the best bird - a Western Kingbird !!!
