Joe Metzler found a SANDHILL CRANE at the mouth of Tenmile Creek, always a nice find in Coos. Like Ferrenburg was just a few miles offshore doing some class stuff (he is attending OIMB now) and saw a flock of breeding plumaged RED PHALAROPES. There was a single VESPER SPARROW up Bethel Mtn. in SW Coos. Merry migration! Tim R Coos Bay
