I went out to the South Jetty of the Columbia River to see if I could find a Buff-breasted, but could only manage a female RUFF. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mbalame/9577387043/ The bad news: this is Hood to Coast Weekend, so between that and Bouy 10, driving around the county is the worst kind of traffic nightmare. There are still at least 10 ELEGANT TERNS at Hammond Boat Basin (but the birds at Tokeland may be easier to chase this weekend). -- Mike Patterson Astoria, OR On watch in the Seawatch http://www.surfbirds.com/community-blogs/northcoastdiaries/?p=1506 OBOL archives: www.freelists.org/archive/obol Manage your account or unsubscribe: //www.freelists.org/list/obol Contact moderators: obol-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
