Hello, this is the Audubon Society of Portland Rare Bird Report. This report

On August 15 a ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK visited a Medford birdbath. An August
15 offshore boat trip out of Coos Bay found a MANX SHEARWATER, a BULLER?S
SHEARWATER, 10 LONG-TAILED JAEGERS, and 15 ELEGANT TERNS.

Many migrant and dispersing birds were reported during the week. Juvenile
RED-SHOULDERED HAWKS were reported from Pacific City, Seaside, Sauvie
Island, Portland, Finley NWR, and from Davis Lake in the Cascades.

On August 14, 50 ELEGANT TERNS were at Gold Beach, and another at the
Siltcoos Estuary. Two PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVERS and a SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER
