After a soggy morning it cleared and temps were up around 70F on the
beach. I threw on some shorts and headed out to the beach with Teak. We
spent a couple hours walking but could not refind the TROPICAL KINGBIRD at
the old Weyco pond site out on the north spit of Coos Bay. After returning
to the truck I decided to drive south a couple miles to the end of the
road- at the end of the road was a flycatching TROPICAL KINGBIRD. I think
there is a fair possibility it was a different bird than the one further
north the past couple days. About 5 minutes after seeing the kingbird Tery
Wahl called to tell me he was looking at three Tropical-Ks(!) about 40 feet
apart on the family ranch near Cape Blanco.
Earlier in the AM I saw a getting-late YELLOW WARBLER at the BLM office in
North Bend.
A bit later I drove around the bay to Empire/Charleston where I saw ELEGANT
TERNS in small groups from about the Empire boat ramp all the way out past
the jetties. I think there are easily 30 to 40 still around.
Gorgeous afternoon!
Merry October,
Tim R
Coos Bay
