Historically G-wing has been a spotty breeder from Newport north, progressively
more common northward. South of Newport they have not been a regular breeder. I
have sometimes seen them at Heceta Head. I don't think they breed at Arago. My
sense is that the ones that dribble south in summer are non breeders. This year
there seem to be plenty of them.
