There are still plenty-plus SOOTY SHEARWATERS being seen off the
South Jetty of the Columbia River. An adult still in mostly
alternate plumage RED-NECKED GREBE was in the ocean near the
viewing platform.
A PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVER flew over the banding station this morning.
Birds using the scrape at Wireless Rd now include a dozen or
so AMERICAN PIPITS. There are still 3 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS mixed
in with the KILLDEER and WESTERN SANDPIPERS.

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.
