Portland, Oregon

My wife and I headed to see friends in Portland for the first weekend of my Spring Break. This was my first time in Oregon and I was able to start a state list with 41 birds over the weekend. Of course new places means different birds, and a whole flock of cackling Geese was new for me. Also Nell and Dennis had both Black-capped and Chestnut-backed Chickadees in their yard. But the real highlight was a Varied Thrush on the lawn with the robins.
