The WILLET reported yesterday on the Necanicum Estuary yesterday was still present today. This is most probably the same bird that was reported to eBird by Dan van den Broek and others on 9/20/2014. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mbalame/sets/72157648205484226/ I should note that I can count the number of Willets I've seen in Clatsop County on one hand. One might think they'd be more regular in Clatsop County given that they winter in fair numbers at Tokeland, WA, a short 75km to the north. Chalk it up to site fidelity. Also on the Necanicum to day were GREAT EGRET, WILSON'S SNIPE and a funny looking HORNED GREBE. -- Mike Patterson Astoria, OR String Theory http://www.surfbirds.com/community-blogs/northcoastdiaries/?p=2182 OBOL archives: www.freelists.org/archive/obol Manage your account or unsubscribe: //www.freelists.org/list/obol Contact moderators: obol-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
