Hi,
At the Hatfield Marine Science Center Nature Trail this morning
(7/22), Chuck Philo saw the lingering Gray Catbird. He was the first
to see it in that area on June 18, so it has lingered over a month.
At Idaho Flats near the Nature Trail today, he saw 1 Marbled Godwit,
20 peeps, and 3 Great Egrets. These may be the first Great Egrets of
the season in lower Yaquina Bay. In the past, Great Egrets also
usually showed up in lower Yaquina Bay in mid- to late July, though
scattered ones could be elsewhere in the County during June-early
July.
"Fall" shorebird migration in which we now are in has been an iffy
proposition in the past as well as today. They are not as
concentrated, numerous, and as predictable as during spring migration.
