Hi all,
I posted my finds from Broughton Beach on Monday but have since been able
to verify some of the birds I was not sure about.
In the river beyond Multnomah County (closer to Wintler Park, Clark County)
I had five scoters, one of which has been verified as WHITE-WINGED SCOTER.
The scoters were drifting west while I watched and lost sight of them as
they began to pass Marine Park. I also had one RED-NECKED GREBE cruise
by.
In the group of 13 grebes by the beach where the gulls roost I found one
possible Clark's, possible Clark's x Western hybrid. All input I have
received on this bird is that it is indeed a CLARK'S GREBE with its bright
orangey yellow bill, white around the eye, and lighter flanks. I imagine
it is still around, those grebes seem to have set up shop there.
I have photos of all the birds mentioned (take note I did not say I had
"good photos") on my Flickr photostream:

Feel free to voice concern or add comments. Good birding (and most
excellent motorless birding!),
