I stopped by Bandon Marsh on may way south this morning and took a quick peek
at the peeps. Looked to be at least 12,000 on the mudflats ("Leasterns",
Dunlin and SP Plovers). I would estimate 80-90% Westerns. Just a few BB
Plovers there and 2 RED KNOTS. In the PM I stopped by real quick on my way
north, the marsh was still covered with shorebirds but there was 20+ BB
Plovers, 15-20 dowitchers and one all white plover that I bet was a Semipalm,
cool looking bird but across the marsh and hard to get real good looks at due
to the heat waves.
Merry migration!

We definitely had pretty good movement of shorebirds yesterday and today
in southern Coos Cty. The movement was not massive, but it was decent
with some large flocks of peeps and dows cruising north. Saw one RED
KNOT this morning at Bandon Beach.
