Detalhes da observação
Continuing bird, first reported on 10/28 by Buzz and Steve, they'd found it in the gully between Dunton, Millar, and Lund, so that's where I focused my efforts. I searched for 45 minutes at 1500 with no luck. I returned at 4 and spent another 30 or 40 minutes looking. I had given up and was walking down Dunton back to my car when I noticed the bird on the left (uphill) side of the road. I found the bird at 1630 at the 90 degree corner near the same gully where the bird was seen yesterday. This time the bird was on the other side of the road near the house on the corner. It was right next to the road in a thicket of salmonberry and red huckleberry bushes foraging on green grubs. The bird was cooperative and didn't seem worried about my presence. Looks to be a first winter bird based on the duller tones. I was able to get plenty of photos and had great looks at diagnostic features- the buffy yellow face, throat, breast, and eye stripe; dark pointed auricular patch; light colored streaks on the back; 2 white wing bars; and streaky breast and flanks. The bird continued to forage for 3-5 minutes in the same bushes working downslope along the roadside. When it reached the end of the brush the bird crossed to the gully side. It was visible for another 2-3 minutes in the lower canopy of mountain ash, salmonberries, alder. It eventually flew out of sight towards the bottom of the gully, towards the playground on Lund.
