You must course back and forth across a newly mown field, in bright sun, lingering almost weightless, then finally land on the earth and stand still for a bit, looking every alert.  Here is a lesson from a male Harrier in western Yamhill County, along Peavine Road (love that moniker). WIRED Near one large hillside clearcut the migrating swallows were gathered.  Violet-green and Barn.  Soon they will be only an indelible image until next spring. In the Coast Range foothills the elderberries are looking ripe–time for bear and waxwing.
