Their Monthly Frequencies have declined in recent years. In 1975
and 1976, one pair apparently nested in a brushy pasture, as they were
present well into mid-summer and exhibited territorial activity.
In July 1987, only a juvenile was seen.

One was seen on 16 May 1975. The distinguishing marks included small
(i.e., Chipping Sparrow) size, plain gray underparts, small black whisker
mark on or slightly below the lower mandible, two white wing bars, and a
white stripe down the center of the crown. It was with two male American
Goldfinches for a whole day, and the total observation time of the bird
was at least one hour.
This sighting was accepted by the Oregon Bird Records Committee, and
there are also eight other Oregon Coast records for this species (Schmidt
1989:116-117).

UNCONFIRMED.--One was seen in subadult plumage. It had
not undergone the spring molt and resembled an immature Vesper Sparrow.
The beginnings of the black facial mark were barely evident, and it lacked
the faint eye-ring Faxon has always found present in Vesper Sparrows. It
also appeared smaller than a Vesper Sparrow.
It is a vagrant along the Oregon Coast (Eltzroth 1987:16).

UNCONFIRMED.--She resembled a female Purple Finch but was larger. She
had a large amount of white on the wing that was very noticeable. She was
present for a couple of hours and thus allowed good observations; she was
also present at a neighbor's place for about a week.
There are three records for this species along the Oregon Coast that
have been accepted by the Oregon Bird Records Committee; one record in late
August and two records in mid-September (Schmidt 1989:119).

On the days following their arrival each year, they were usually
absent. For example, the previous tabulation indicates that they were
found an average of 40% of the days in the 10 day period after their
arrival.
The probability that they would be present near their average arrival
date each year is low because their average daily presence was only 19%
during the five day period before and after their average arrival date
(Table 5.2).
Prior to their departure, they were not often present. For instance,
they were found an average of 40% of the days in the 10 days preceding
their departure.
Their Average Daily Frequencies were greatest from October through
January, although they were present almost every year from September
through April.
The lack of records in 1973-1974 is probably because Faxon was then
becoming familiarized with them.

This bird was recorded more often than any other bird at Thornton
Creek.
Adults were sometimes observed feeding fledgling Brown-headed
Cowbirds (section 6-B-184).

Although present all winter, their Average Daily Frequency was

from banding records in the Tillamook County Coast Range (Bayer and Ferris
1987:29).

(First is for March-April dates; Last is for October-November dates.)
On the days following their arrival each year, they were usually
present.For example, the previous tabulation indicates that they were
found an average of 79% of the days in the 10 day period after their
arrival.
The probability that they would be present near their average arrival
date each year was low because their average daily presence was only 36%
during the five day period before and after their average arrival date
(Table 5.2). However, they were usually found each year 3-5 days after
their average arrival date (Table 5.2).
Prior to their departure, they were often present. For instance,
they were found an average of 58% of the days in the 10 days preceding
their departure.
Wintering birds were mainly immatures. For example, in 1985, an
immature was found on November 16, and, in 1987, an immature first
appeared on March 6, but the first adult did not arrive until March 31.
Adults were sometimes observed feeding fledgling Brown-headed
Cowbirds (section 6-B-184).

The records above include sightings of the Slate-colored form (see
below).
On 16 May 1974, an "Oregon" Junco nest contained four eggs, and on
May 26 there was at least one hatched young at the nest.
The absence of records in June and August 1989 could be because they
were overlooked, not because they were absent.

Their Daily Frequencies were low, and they were most likely to be
seen in spring and fall.
Up to 20 pairs nested here until 1957 when Black-headed Cowbirds
arrived (see sections 4-F-2 and 6-B-184). On 11 October 1977, 25 were
seen, but generally far fewer were found.

On the days following their arrival each year, they were usually
present. For example, the previous tabulation indicates that they were
found an average of 79% of the days in the 10 day period after their
arrival.
The probability that they would be present near their average
arrival date each year was low because their average daily presence was
only 25% during the five day period before and after their average arrival
date (Table 5.2).
Prior to their departure, they were often absent. For instance, they
were found an average of only 47% of the days in the 10 days preceding
their departure.
They first arrived in 1957 and have adversely affected some other
bird species, especially Brewer's Blackbirds (see section 4-F-2). The
following species have been observed to feed young cowbirds here: Wrentit,
Wilson's and Black-throated Gray warblers, Song and White-crowned
sparrows, and Hammond's Flycatchers.

UNCONFIRMED.--A second-spring male was seen. It had a black bib, dark
tail, and dark wings with two wingbars. The upper back was dull darkish
green, and the rest of the plumage was a fairly consistent orange-yellow.
The coloration was more uniform from breast to crown than would be
expected of an Orchard Oriole. The Oregon Bird Records Committee has
accepted four records for the Oregon Coast: three in late December-February
and one in early June (Schmidt 1989:126).

UNCONFIRMED.--In 1985, four birds on Sept. 2, two birds on Sept. 7,
and one bird on Sept. 12 were heard and identified as this species on the
basis of call, size, and flight pattern. Their call was similar to the
"tu-tu-tu" of the Greater Yellowlegs, but these birds' call was
finch-like and very distinctive.
It is considered a vagrant along the Oregon Coast (Eltzroth 1987:17).

Their greatest Average Daily Frequencies were from April through
September, which was when they were present every year.
Only females and/or immatures usually occurred here in winter, and
they were rare. The males departed in fall and arrived in late
winter/early spring. However, eight (including six males) were seen on
3 December 1985.

Their greater Monthly Frequencies in recent years stems largely
from Faxon not recording any until 1977. The reason for their previous
absence is unknown, but perhaps they were overlooked.
Although only about 10% of Faxon's observations were done along
ridge tops, he noted that crossbills had a post-breeding dispersal along
ridge tops. Flocks moving north were seen on 15 and 17 June 1988.

UNCONFIRMED.--In 1985, a flock of crossbills was noted high in a
Douglas-fir; the calls were not those of the Red Crossbill and presumably
were of this species.
In 1989, a flock of about 12 was seen; they were about 100 ft (30 m)
below Faxon. They were crossbill size and shape and flew like crossbills.
All had light yellowish-brown heads, had slightly yellower napes, had
bright yellow rumps and upper tail coverts, and had dark wings with very
obvious wide white wingbars.
Eltzroth (1987:17) lists them as vagrants along the Oregon Coast.

UNCONFIRMED.--Faxon noted several in a flock with Pine Siskins on an
unknown date prior to 1969 and also in January 1969. On both occasions,
the Redpolls were siskin size and had streaked plumage with red caps.
Eltzroth (1987:17) lists them as vagrants along the Oregon Coast.

On 18 November 1977, about 500 were around, which wasn't an abnormally
high number for here.
Siskins were present every year, but they varied in which months they
were found and in their Daily Frequencies.

On the days following their arrival each year, they were usually
present.For example, the previous tabulation indicates that they were found
an average of 88% of the days in the 10 day period after their arrival.
The probability that they would be present near their average arrival
date each year was low because their average daily presence was only 35%
during the five day period before and after their average arrival date
(Table 5.2).
Prior to their departure, they were not often present. For instance,
they were found an average of only 26% of the days in the 10 days
preceding their departure.
American Goldfinches, like White-crowned Sparrows, did not usually
overwinter here, even though they winter closer to the coast. In fact,
in recent years, American Goldfinches have overwintered less often than
previously.
In 1986, these goldfinches were feeding begging young in flocks as
late as Sept. 8.

Their Average Daily Frequencies were greatest in April-May and
August-October during spring and fall migration, respectively.
In some years, this species appeared to be migratory, but the pattern
was not consistent.
Although only about 10% of his observations were along ridge tops,
Faxon noted a post-breeding dispersal along ridge tops for this species,
and hundreds could be present during fall migration "waves"
(section 5-G-3).
