Hi, Chuck Philo saw a Common Murre at Depot Slough in Toledo at about River Mile 12.5 this evening (Oct. 14). This is unusually high in Yaquina Estuary for Common Murres, which are rare upstream of about River Mile 5, with most downstream of about River Mile 3. Chuck carefully watched it, and it appeared healthy and was swimming and diving. Perhaps it was a young-of-the-year murre. Chuck also saw a Red-shouldered Hawk near the USFWS Building by the Hatfield Marine Science Center Nature Trail. Roy Lowe photographed an immature Red-shouldered in that area last week.
