There were about 200 ELEGANT TERNS at the Hammond Boat Basin today. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mbalame/15529024932/in/photostream Also seen there were 2 WHIMBREL and a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK. Seawatching at the South Jetty produced (among other things) 5 BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKES, 2 BONAPARTE'S GULLS and a single SOOTY SHEARWATER, all in fairly close. -- Mike Patterson Astoria, OR String Theory http://www.surfbirds.com/community-blogs/northcoastdiaries/?p=2182 OBOL archives: www.freelists.org/archive/obol Manage your account or unsubscribe: //www.freelists.org/list/obol Contact moderators: obol-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
