Two CASPIAN TERNS were fishing near the old Hwy 101 bridge this
morning.
Two dead BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKES were the only washups to
go along with Monday's stormy weather. One was badly oiled.
The numbers of SANDERLING and DUNLIN have dropped to a handful
along Clatsop Beach. This is an expected precursor to the spring
shorebird movement.
