Folks,
On our way home from Coos Bay we stopped at Winchester Bay and walked out to
the triangular jetty on the south side of the mouth of the Umpqua River.
There is an oyster farm inside the triangle. Many large rubber floats
provide roosting places for birds.
We found:
10 ELEGANT TERNS
70 Double-crested Cormorants
90 Heermann's Gulls
30-40 Western and California Gulls.
3 Red-breasted Mergansers
50 Common Murres on the ocean
40 Brown Pelicans on the north jetty
1 Wrentit near the campground at Winchester Bay
Matt Hunter has some photos of the terns on the floats taken Aug 11 on his
Flickr page.

Good birding, everyone,
