Todd Thornton saw a SNOW BUNTING at SJCR on Saturday.
A LONG-TAILED DUCK was reported from the Astoria waterfront..

A GLAUCOUS GULL was at the Peter Iredale overlook today.

Weather has been particularly inclement of late. You'll
almost certainly be hearing about coastal flooding again
on the news. Sparrowing watching is a special challenge
in these conditions, but I managed to do a Astoria
