Two nesting species today.  The Baker Creek dippers and a robin on a nest in Grenfell Park downstream from the dipper bridge.The dipper on watch in the middle of the stream sand once while I was there.  I heard no answer from the mate that I suspect was in the nest, incubation duty.

At Yamhill Sewer Ponds today not a single swallow to be seen.  Still plenty of ducks.  No Cacklers, no shorebirds, not even a Killdeer.
