An adult MEW GULL was among the RING-BILLED and CALIFORNIA
GULLS on the Astoria Waterfront today. A group of 10 BROWN
PELICANS was on Youngs Bay yesterday.

A mixed flock of at least 75 swallows was on Nicolai Mt this
afternoon, presumably fall migrants. The majority were VIOLET-
GREEN and BARN SWALLOWS, there were also several TREE SWALLOWS,
at least one CLIFF SWALLOW and a VAUX'S SWIFT.

Mike Patterson Alas, to wear the mantle of Galileo,
Astoria, OR it is not enough to be persecuted
celata at pacifier.com by an unkind establishment,
you must also be right.
