Knute Andersson reports 4 WHIMBREL from behind the Coast Guard station in
Bandon today.  He also saw a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK a little south of Coos Bay-
sounds like it was off Hwy 42 near a horse stables with adjacent open
sloughlands.

Forecast for tomorrow in Coos Bay calls for winds from 25-35mph with gusts
to 70.  Wednesday night Thursday another storm arrives with winds
forecasted to be 35-45 with gusts to 80.  It will be winder at the
headlands, they say gust to 100 mph during the second storm.  Also sounds
like about 4 inches of rain on the coast with over 9 forecasted for the
Coast Range Wednesday and Thursday.  Red Phalaropes may be coming to a pond
near you- and that may be a pond that currently isn't there!

Merry storm watching,
Tim R
Coos Bay
