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

The Coos Bay BROWN BOOBY continues to be seen. On October 31 and November 1
a BROAD-WINGED HAWK was seen in Scappoose. Most likely the same bird was
seen November 1 over Willow Bay on Sauvie Island. A MANX-TYPE SHEARWATER was
off Boiler Bay October 31.

An immature gray-phased GYRFALCON was photographed during the week in Curry
County. On October 31 a PALM WARBLER and a LONG-TAILED DUCK were at Yaquina

On November 3 about 19 CANVASBACKS, 9 HOODED MERGANSERS, and 6 COMMON

in Molalla. A flock of TUNDRA SWANS were at the Fernhill Wetlands November
3. Fifteen TUNDRA SWANS, three EARED GREBES, 1000 DUNLIN, and 20
BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS were seen October 31 at Fern Ridge Reservoir. The
harrier and kite night roost is now being used at Fern Ridge Reservoir. On
October 30, 26 WHITE-TAILED KITES and 20 NORTHERN HARRIERS were recorded
there. On November 4 a RED-THROATED LOON was on Dexter Reservoir southeast
of Eugene.

On November 2 about 300 BONAPARTE?S GULLS were at John Day Dam. Two SURF
