Introduction: MarionCounty has a wide variety of birds that range from huge flocks of winter Canada and Cackling Geese on the valley floor to Spotted Owls and Red Crossbills in the higher elevation conifer forests.  MarionCounty is covered by two different eco-regions; the WillametteValley eco-region in the west and the Cascade eco-region in the east.  The WillametteValley portion of the county is consists mostly of agriculture lands with scattered oak groves, remnants of once vast prairies, forested buttes, wetlands, ponds, some hedgerows, wooded streams and rivers.  Birds of interest that occur in this portion of Marion County include large flocks of wintering waterfowl, Red-shouldered Hawks, Acorn Woodpeckers, Rufous Hummingbirds, “Streaked” Horned Larks, Bullock’s Orioles, Black-headed Grosbeaks, and Savannah Sparrows.  The Cascade portion of MarionCounty is dominated by conifer forests.  Other types of habitat in this eco-region are high-elevation lakes, reservoirs, small patches of sub-alpine habitat (on Olallie Butte and the northwestern flank of Mount Jefferson), meadows, and deciduous woods along streams, rivers, and wet lower-elevation slopes.  Sought after birds in the Cascade region include Sooty Grouse, Mountain Quail, Ruffed Grouse, Hermit Warbler, Gray Jay, American Dipper, Hutton’s Vireo, Barrow’s Goldeneye, Clark’s Nutcracker, and Harlequin Duck.  A good resource for birds and birding in Marion County is the local Salem Audubon Society.  Here you can get current bird information and access their newsletter.  This chapter is known for its friendly people and cheritable dissemination of information about local birds.
