We had a wash up PACIFIC- SLOPE FLYCATCHER at New River Coo Cty yesterday.
My dentist said he was on his boat about 7 miles off Horsfall SP on
Sunday orning and had a small passerine land on the boat and stay with
him for a little while. He doesn't know his birds.

OBOL,
Yesterday at Spinreel campground, Coos county I saw a VARIED
THRUSH. Had not seen them on the outer coast in a week or two.
Today in the wrack line I found a WILSON'S WARBLER and right next
to it a GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW, no doubt casualties of last weekends
unusual weather, at Tenmile Creek mouth. I got a report of a wash up
grosbeak in Coos, but did not get an exact location. I have been
scanning the wrack for passerines since Monday and these are the first
wash ups that I have spotted.
Interestingly I found a wash up WESTERN SANDPIPER and a DUNLIN not
too far from each other near Tahkenitch creek mouth on Friday May 3.
Very beautiful breeding plumage up close.
Lastly I saw a flock of 500ish SANDERLINGS with just a few Dunlin
and Westerns at Oregon Dunes Overlook, Douglas county. In the last
two weeks I have had very low Sanderling numbers on the beach, while
the Dunlin and Westerns have been spectacular. Not too far away was a
RUDDY TURNSTONE with several BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS.
