I took the opportunity to walk out there this afternoon, but forgot my camera.
There were 5 Bonaparte's gulls amidst the flock of Mews, California and mixed
big pink-legged gulls (no Thayer's). Also, 1 Black-bellied Plover and about a
dozen Dunlin.

Linda,
Thanks for reporting the Gulls and plovers. In any case it's awesome that you
were out trying to identify them and made an attempt. I am definitely guilty
of avoiding the literal headaches of trying to identify individuals in a gull
flock.

Obolers,
A ROSS'S Gull would be a very rare bird for Oregon. Before people get
excited/ frustrated, can anyone verify this with photos? Don't be afraid to
make mistakes and learn from them...
