My wife and I spent some time in the forest at McMinnville’s Rotary Park Nature Preserve.  Two new birds of the year for me: Pac-slope Flycatcher and Cassin’s Vireo, the latter was in the doug-firs above the lakeside viewing platform.  Lots of grosbeak song, of course. Some chorus frog chorusing as well.
