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

On June 14 a MANX SHEARWATER was off Boiler Bay. A male ROSE-BREASTED
GROSBEAK was seen June 13 near Sumner in Coos County.

The main movements of COMMON NIGHTHAWKS and RED-EYED VIREOS entered the
state during the week and were reported from many areas.

On June 14 eight male and some female BLUE-WINGED TEAL were seen at
Ridgefield NWR. Up to 35 WHITE PELICANS are still being seen there. A
surprising and out of territory SPOTTED OWL was photographed June 12 in a
northwest Portland neighborhood. Five WHITE PELICANS are now at Finley NWR.
On June 17 a GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW was seen near Eugene.
