Today while working on the Ni-les'tun Unit of Bandon Marsh NWR I got a brief 
glimpse of a flock of approximately 20 peeps.  It was a brief look at long 
distance and into the sun, but they were the right size for western sandpipers. 
 On my back north to Newport I observed a flock of scoters at the same exact 
spot near Hwy 101 mile post 173 in Lane County.  There were 80-90 surf scoters 
feeding in a tight flock in the surf literally within yards of where I saw a 
much bigger flock when I was in route to the shorebird festival last year.  
Love to know what lurks on the bottom there.
