I have been birding Coos pretty hard for the last 15 years and this is a
first for me. Let's just say that they are less regular on the beach than
say, Tropical Kingbirds or Red-necked Stints : ) I have never seen them or
heard them away from the Coast Range and there i generally have them
above1,500'- at least here in Coos County. The north coast may be
different. I know they have Gray Jays close to the coast- we do not, may
have something to do with the mountains being much further inland here than
up north.
Merry October,
Tim
