I have to agree with Dave. I have not seen a whimbrel all winter and the
overwintering we had always perched on the little finger of Port land between
the Bandon boat basin and the creek that runs by the sewage plant. Further, I
have an office in the Old Coast Guard building and none of us in the building
has seen a whimbrel there at anytime this winter. Like Dave, I am not convinced
this the same bird that somehow all of us have missed all winter.

Knute Andersson saw a WHIMBREL behind the Coast Guard station in Bandon on the
4th, I am assuming it is the same bird that has overwintered for quite a few
years now. I think it was missed on the CBC?
I don't think it was missed on CBC, I don't think it was here and I am not
sure we can assume it is the same individual. Could easily have moved into
the area with the decent weather recently. A whimbrel has not been reported
in Bandon all winter.

Out on the north spit of Coos Bay on the 6th there was a flock of 250
RING-NECKED DUCKS, largest flock of them I have ever noticed. Also with them
were about 30 mostly Greater looking Scaup, 20 each of Ruddy Duck and
Bufflehead, and about 40 coots, all on the old aeration pond there. I didn't
have time to walk out and check the ducks on the big wetland out there but did
see the NORTHERN SHRIKE was still around.
On Thursday late PM I was back out at Johnson Mill Pond near Coquille around
sunset. Not a single swallow, but there were 8 TVs and lots of ducks, phoebes,
YRs, and an Orange-crowned Warbler.
ENJOY!
