From the heads up dept.
Got word that a ROYAL TERN was found today along the Eureka waterfront on
Humboldt Bay today. The bird was photographed and seen by a number of folks,
including former Oregon resident David Fix. This is the northernmost record
ever for the Pacific Coast. Beyond being a really remote possibility, this has
never been on my radar as a likely vagrant to Oregon. The bird was found by
David La Puma, Ken Burton, and Rob Fowler, who were leading a trip for the
annual "Godwit Days" festival in Humboldt County, CA.
