I counted 460 pelicans at Yaquina Head this morning. There were about 30
immatures. I think this speaks to a couple of failed breeding seasons in So Cal
and Baja...We can expect the next one to be just as bad... good thing pelican
adults can live a long time.

Spent the morning birding with Brandon Green and others, mostly in Yachats. In
addition to the Ground dove in Yachats, one and probably two Palm Warblers were
futzing around the shrubbery next to the Presbyterian church and sewage plant.
I had the pleasure of showing the dove to my cousin Maeona Urban, who lives in
Yachats.
I thought I saw a shrike dashing through the area. Something with white wing
patches is around.
Further south we did not see a lot in our short day on the coast, but there
were about 70 Brown Pelicans on the rock at Heceta cove. All but a few were
adults. a couple of migrant hermit thrushes were in the bushes there.
At least forty Herring Gulls were on the beach at Rock Creek, Lane Co. , with a
couple of hundred cal/western.
