I got to the Necanicum at about 12:30hr (I know...I need to
reset the clock on my camera). I easily found 3 ELEGANT
TERNS and was hearing at least 1 other out over the ocean.
I saw no shearwaters. Steve Warner reported a WILLET a bit
up river.

I drove Clatsop Beach and counted 117 dead COMMON MURRE
chicks along the tide line.

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