Tom~ Yes, of course. I can believe I omitted those, especially since I had a conversation about them with both Chuck & Judy. The bird here was in similar plumage, not fully molted into its crisp breeding plumage.

Pretty unusual to see a spring migrant in Oregon although Dave Lauten saw one on the beach in Coos Co this spring as well. Good birding,Russ NamitzMedford
