Hi Danny,
The lower Columbia River is a prime destination for wintering waterfowl,
shorebirds, and gulls. There are many song birds that winter in your area t=
hat
might not be singing, but still make plenty of sounds while foraging. Also =
there
are many many year-round species making all sorts of sounds out there. I th=
ink
the main reason people notice less birds this time of year, is because the=
people are spending more time indoors, and less chance of having free time =
on
the nice days.
The challenge for you will not be to find birds, but to find locations with=
limited intrusions of anthropogenic noise. For this you may want to head aw=
ay
from the Columbia River's freeway traffic, and don't come any closer to Por=
tland
than you already are - it is very noisy here. Sorry, I don't have any speci=
fic
locations in mind, but maybe try contacting one of the birding groups in yo=
ur
area.
Perhaps: http://www.ecbcbirds.org/
The weather looks relatively nice for this Sunday.
