@birdallianceoregon.bsky.socialIt's been visited by upwards of 600 people and counting - we think it may be the most photographed individual bird in Oregon history.
@birdallianceoregon.bsky.socialA remarkably rare Blue Rock-Thrush has appeared in Portland! 1st spotted 9/13 at Broughton Beach, this male of the East Asian subspecies is only the 4th documented Blue Rock-Thrush in the U.S. How it got here is a mystery, though ship assistance is considered likely. Have you gone to see it yet?
