A SOLITARY SANDPIPER was among the large numbers of shorebirds at Wireless
Rd this afternoon. A LAZULI BUNTING and YELLOW WARBLER were at the west
end of the road. Lazuli Bunting is a rare, but regular migrant in Clatsop
Co. usually occurring at local bird feeders.

Birdathon folks interested in ticking the Solitary Snad should be advised
that high tide is at 1147hr tomorrow, optimum shorebird viewing would be
from 1200-1300hrs.
