I spent a couple hours birding the Fisher Butte Unit of Fern Ridge early
this morning finding a nice assortment of shorebirds including:

  1 Black-bellied Plover
  1 Pacific Golden Plover
  4 Semipalmated Plover
  1 Killdeer
  9 American Avocet
  1 Solitary Sandpiper
 20 Greater Yellowlegs
  6 Lesser Yellowlegs
  1 Marbled Godwit
  2 Semipalmated Sandpiper
800 Western Sandpiper
 75 Least Sandpiper
  1 Pectoral Sandpiper
  1 Short-billed Dowitcher
125 Long-billed Dowitcher
  1 Wilson's Snipe
  2 Red-necked Phalarope

I did not see Sally's Ruff, but did see her female Tricolored Blackbird on
the way out.
