Birds are on the wing across the state. Check the Viewing section for your area for more information. In Umatilla County, riparian areas are alive with migrating neotropical migrant passerine birds―birds that breed in North America and winter in the tropics. Wood ducks are flocking up at this time and can be seen traveling up and down river systems with cottonwood trees along the banks. In Douglas County, many species of birds are migrating south for the winter so look for birds congregating at roosts and feeders or in the air just before or during migration. Some migratory species to watch are: ospreys, turkey vultures, swifts, swallows, cedar waxwings, flycatchers, warblers, finches and shorebirds.
