With a few observers still not accounted for, the Clatsop Co.
NAMC is now at 103 species.

Highlights include a PINK-FOOTED SHEARWATER and a FORK-TAILED STORM-
PETREL from the South Jetty of the Columbia River along with recently
arrived HORNED GREBES and RED-NECKED GREBES.

We had a good showing of shorebirds including 2 AMERICAN GOLDEN PLOVERS
at parking lot "D" and a single PACIFIC GOLDEN PLOVER at Wireless Rd.
There were also 11 PECTORAL SANDPIPERS at Wireless and a juvenile
MERLIN just about as dark as they come.

A MARBLED GODWIT was at the Necanicum Estuary.

The ROCK WREN was still at Coxcomb Hill, but the best migrant
flocks were at Astoria Sewage Treatment ponds.

There have been tyrants, and murderers,
and for a time they can seem invincible,

Think of it...always.
