Graham Floyd and I prowled coastal Lane County today, exchanging the oven for the wind tunnel. A flabbergusting breeze blew fog around us all afternoon. Highlights were a Bonaparte's Gull and at least eight Rhinos at the Siuslaw jetties, also 300 California, two ringbills and a few Heermann's. Glaucous-wings, patchy on the Lane coast in summer, were at the Florence jetties and at Heceta Head parking area. Bob Creek offered a Harlequin Duck, about as early as I recall seeing one. There were two xbills at Stonefield wayside. Small numbers of Least and Western were at several sites and a Semi Sandpiper was seen and heard at the crab dock cove, Florence. Yachats was slow but offered a Western Grebe.
