The Coos Bay Brown Booby continues to be see. On November 9 a

was inland at the Fernhill Wetlands in Forest Grove. Good numbers of BROWN

On November 11 two TROPICAL KINGBIRDS were in Florence. Two ROCK SANDPIPERS

Forest Grove. On November 10 seven LEWIS?S WOODPECKERS were along West
Perrydale Road in Polk County. That day a NORTHERN SHRIKE was at Baskett
Slough NWR. Another NORTHERN SHRIKE was seen during the week in Finley NWR.
