Hi -

During a brief midday visit to Yaquina Head, I flushed, then got a good
look at a Grasshopper Sparrow on the west face of Salal Hill.  This is the
west-facing hill slope just east of the lighthouse parking loop.  Habitat
is dense grass and herbaceous vegetation.  A lot of that slope is d=stunted
thickets of Salmonberry, and Salal but this bird was in the grassy part.  I
only found 2 stragglers from yesterday's Golden-crowned Sparrow fallout.
 And no flycatchers, thrushes, or hummingbirds.
