Birded the North Coast today with Jack Kiley and John Elizalde, all in Clatsop County. At Silver Point several bunches of Brown Pelicans, quite a few Red-throated Loons, several small tight flocks of shorebirds .... all flying north. At Necanicum Estuary 19 Black-bellied Plovers, scattering of Dunlin in mostly alternate plumage. At Stanley Lake 6 Greater Yellowlegs. Along Sunset Beach very few Sanderlings in mostly basic plumage, small number of Western Sandpipers in complete or nearly complete alternate plumage. Along Wireless Road a quite satisfying flock of 120+ Whimbrel with 4 Marbled Godwits. All along the usual Savannah Sparrows (some are migrants with a lot of yellow in the face), Yellow-rumped Warblers, Orange-crowned Warblers, the White-crowned Sparrows are singing, a few leftover Golden-crowned Sparrows, Barn Swallows in good numbers, Bald Eagles everywhere. oschmidt@xxxxxxx Monday, April 21, 2014 OBOL archives: www.freelists.org/archive/obol Manage your account or unsubscribe: //www.freelists.org/list/obol Contact moderators: obol-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
