I just received a phone call from Todd Thornton (10:45hr).
There is one ELEGANT TERN in the CASPIAN TERN flock at the
Necanicum Estuary, Seaside, Clatsop Co. and he can hear others.

There's also a good sized SOOTY SHEARWATER flock off the ocean
there.

hears every sound and puzzles out its meaning with a cleverness
that amazes those with ears who hear not.
