I have seen Lark Sparrows 3 times on the northern Oregon or southern Washington
coasts. One was in May when Tom Crabtree and I saw one on the lawn outside the
restaurant of the old Tolvana Inn as we ate their unusually good chowder. One
was a September bird at Nehalem Meadows, and one was a September bird at the
North Jetty of the Columbia River.
