 The Sauvie Island birding show continues. At 7AM, enroute to Big Eddy parking, 
there was a Snowy Egret in Grassy Lake with a couple dozen Great Egrets. 
Sturgeon Lake had five Marbled Godwits, four Sabine's Gull (one adult breeding 
plumage), and a Ruff with some Pectoral Sandpipers. Good morning activity until 
high tide about 10AM displaced most stuff (except long-legged waders like 
Yellowlegs).
 
Afternoon activity resumed about 1PM. A single Red-necked Phalarope flew in. A 
Peregrine Falcon buzzed everything away so I left.
