I've been away leading a Portland Audubon birding trip to North Dakota the past two weeks and missed the Golden Plover that visited JBW and was reported to the front desk on June 12th by Gary Witt and to OBOL by Steve Nord. Based on Gary's photos that he sent us I'd agree with Will Risser that Pacific GP is a good call. I was catching up on local birding this afternoon and noted of the 11 Great Blue Herons in Wapato Marsh 6 of them were birds of the year. The clacking and so forth issuing from the rookery to the east is much diminished and only a few of the nests visible from the west side still contain nestlings. On another note, the Osprey on the nest at the south end of Pintail Pond appeared to be tending to something animate beneath her.
