Rfi: Oregon In September (2 Viewers)

Well-known member
Hi all

Thinking about a short birding visit to Oregon later this year, and am trying to get an idea of what birds I have a chance of seeing.

My visit would be in early September, probably second week.

I have a potential target list I am working through, but while I’ve been able to get some info on seasonal movements, most of this is fairly vague, i.e. summer or fall. I am really struggling to get more accurate info, and so I would greatly appreciate your views on the likelihood of my being able to find the following species at that time:

Tundra Swan
White-winged Scoter
Calliope Hummingbird
Rock Sandpiper
Short-billed Gull
Thayer's Gull
Tufted Puffin
Sage Thrasher
Fox Sparrow
Golden-crowned Sparrow
American Tree Sparrow
Brewer's Sparrow

I will undoubtedly be too late for some of these, and too early for others, but I don’t have that sort of info – any help very gratefully received!

Many thanks,

Agreed....Malheur is the place to be around Fall.....it is a ways to get there but it is well worth the drive!.... Puffins can be found at Canon Beach too on the rock if you want a fantastic backdrop to take photos..... One of the largest colonies I believe lives there so you are sure to get a shot.

Also, up and down the oregon coast there are always all sorts of things, your scoter, Thayers gull, even the fox sparrow..... Good luck....
