Steve Warner reports two BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER flew into
the Salicornia at the shorebird flats at about 1630hr.

He also saw the BUFF-BREASTED at the Necanicum at about 1730hr.

It looks like it may be a Buff-breasted year.

SPECIAL WARNING: This weekend is the Hood to Coast Run. It will
be aggrevatingly difficult to get around Clatsop County this
weekend, especially from Seaside southward. The worst part of
time will be tomorrow (Saturday) from about 1000hr on. If you
come to the SJCR, I recommend coming early and plan on going
back inland via Hwy 14 on the Washington side.
