Hi - 

 

My apologies, particularly to  Daniel Farrar for hijacking his email post to
report the Elegant Terns back at Newport.

 

I have discovered that I can reply to an OBOL post from my Android phone,
but if I originate an email to  OBOL it gets blocked.

 

Anyway, there were 6 terns.  They were roosting on the rocks of the last
finger jetty, and flying around fishing for about an hour, then moved off up
toward the bridge, at which point I left.  Two briefly lit in the parking
area with the 200+ California Gulls present.

 

At the time they left they were being pushed around by some brutish
fledgling Western Gulls, who seemed to want the rocks for themselves.

 

Also present:  3 Common Murre chicks accompanied by adults.  The adults were
molting on their throats.

 

1 fledgling Pigeon Guillemot.
