Not to be out done by those north and south of Clatsop Co. I managed to
find a SNOWY OWL (a mostly pure white one) on the bay side of the road
between Parking Lots A and B right behind the ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK.

I'm pretty sure that BROWN PELICANS have gone south. I found none today.

LINCOLN SPARROWS seem to be in higher than numbers this year. I found
5 at the Airport without much effort and 4 at the Heron Av patch by the
Skipannon River.

And I now have my very own WESTERN SCRUB-JAY regularly coming to my feeder.
Now I don't have to go cross town to Dan Fay's House (Actually, a pair breed
in my neighborhood this summer).
