WHITE-FACED IBIS, BLACK-NECKED STILTS, and a GREAT EGRET were at
Ridgefield NWR during the week. Two BLACK TERNS were at Jackson Bottom in
Hillsboro May 17; four were at Fernhill Wetlands in Forest Grove May 19.
Seven were there along with two FORSTER'S TERNS May 21. BLACK TERNS were
also reported during the week from Baskett Slough NWR, Ankeny NWR, and
Fern Ridge Reservoir. A BLACK-NECKED STILT was at Ankeny NWR May 16. Two
GREAT EGRETS were at Baskett Slough NWR May 23.

Seven WHITE PELICANS, large numbers of CLARK'S and WESTERN GREBES, and
FORSTER'S TERNS were at Fern Ridge Reservoir during the week.
