I birded Heceta Beach this morning from 7:00-9:00 finding and estimated
4,500 shorebirds to the north and south of Driftwood Shores including:

    1 Snowy Plover
  400 Semipalmated Plover
    1 LONG-BILLED CURLEW
    4 Whimbrel
    6 Marbled Godwit
    3 Red Knot
   500 Sanderling
    1 Semipalmated Sandpiper
  3500 Western Sandpiper
   500 Least Sandpiper
    2 Baird's Sandpiper
    1 Short-billed Dowitcher
    2 Red-necked Phalarope

At the north jetty Florence I found:

    1 Wandering Tattler
    1 Greater Yellowlegs
    1 WILLET
   10 Whimbrel
    5 Marbled Godwit
    1 Black Turnstone
   15 Surfbird

And the Dog Pond I found 1 Pectoral Sandpiper, 1 Short-billed Dowitcher and
1 Greater Yellowlegs.    

I found very few shorebirds at Coos Bay, no Elegant Terns, but was surprised
to find an American Bittern at the north spit.

A wet, windy, warm day at the coast.
