I drove the beach from the Gearhart Approach to the Sunset
Beach Access (8.5km) this afternoon and saw the following:

Black-bellied Plover 5
Semipalmated Plover 62
Ruddy Turnstone 1
Red Knot 1
Sanderling 335
Western Sandpiper 2

A GREAT EGRET was on Stanley Lake in Seaside south of
the airport. Steve Warner tells me it arrived last weekend.

celata at pacifier.com by an unkind establishment,
you must also be right.
