After reading Dave and Kathy's posting, Teak and I went out to Pigeon Point in
the Empire Area of Coos Bay which is just a bit up bay from Charleston later in
the PM. Tide was headed out and there was lots of mudflat. Not many
shorebirds but we did see at least 36 ELEGANT TERNS when we flushed (Teak on
leash of course) the flock as we walked out on the mudflat. Some headed back to
Charleston and others headed up bay. Who knows how many Elegants are in the
bay, as there is a lot of bay and they seemed to be everywhere. Hopefully a
few will stay around for the SHOREBIRD FESTIVAL this weekend.
Nice find Dave and Kathy!
Tim

Around midday today we found at least 39 ELEGANT TERNS in lower Coos
Bay, Coos Co. We saw the birds roosting on the rocks southeast of Half
Moon or Bay Beach, at the very south end of Coos Bay North Spit. They
were also flying around over the channel between Pt Adams in Charleston
and the North Spit. The tide was high. I suspect that with a good
scope you can see the birds from the tip of Pt Adams, which is much
easier to get to than the North Spit which will require four wheel drive.
