Shorebird movement was pretty good in North Coos, Douglas and Lane
counties today. Not spectacular, but by far the best day so far.
Highlights from a colleague in north Coos were a RED KNOT and 16
MARBLED GODWIT somewhere in the Tenmile Creek area. Up north my crew
saw 1 RED KNOT and with 6 BLACK-BELLIES on the beach at Carter Lake
trail, Douglas Co. A little further down the beach near Dunes
Overlook loop trail were 8 MARBLED GODWIT, Along that stretch of
beach we also had many WESTERN SP, SANDERLING, SEMIPALMATED PLOVER,
DUNLIN, SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS and Black-bellied Plovers and a few
Whimbrel. Up at Siltcoos Lane co was much of the same. I estimated
24 Black bellies, 3 Semipalmated Plovers, 14 WHIMBREL, 5 Sanderling, 5
Dunlin, 250 Westerns, 120 Short-billed Dowitchers, and 5 GREATER
YELLOWLEGS. My numbers are surely low as it was not my main focus.

Same down here in Bandon New River area - not jaw dropping but
definitely steady, good numbers and decent diversity. Coos Cty.

I’m at Patterson State Park in Waldport and there is a pretty good movement
of peeps right now along the beach including western and least sandpipers,
dunlin, and dowitchers. The birds are flying about a foot above the wet
sand going around both sides of me. Probably staying low to avoid the NW
wind.
