Hi OBOLers,
This morning, husband Mike and I birded the "Dog Pond" of S. Jetty Road,
Florence.
Highlights: PECTORAL SANDPIPER, four WILSON'S SNIPE, LEAST and WESTERN
SANDPIPERS, two GREAT EGRETS. We also enjoyed at least four VAUX' SWIFTS and
numerous swallows (Barn, Cliff, Violet-green) and bugging and drinking on
the wing. A GREATER YELLOWLEGS caught a blue-colored tiny fish and spent
several minutes maneuvering and "tenderizing" it before finally swallowing
it.
This evening (about 715-730), we birded the N. Jetty of the Siuslaw River.
We did a river and seawatch and found three northbound ELEGANT TERNS,
several PIGEON GUILLEMOTS, audio juvenile COMMON MURRES (at river mouth
somewhere) and a flock of 14 WHIMBREL and seven MARBLED GODWITS. I also
found a pair of LONG-BILLED CURLEWS.
regards,
Diane Pettey
