Hello, this is the Audubon Society of Portland Rare Bird Report. This report
was made Wednesday November 25. If you have anything to add call Harry Nehls
at 503-233-3976.

On November 20 an adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was seen at the John Day
Dam. It has remained and is regularly seen. The Coos Bay BROWN BOOBY
continues to be seen. Among a heavy migratory movement off Boiler Bay
November 22 were a LAYSAN ALBATROSS and a BROWN BOOBY.

The strong storm during the early morning of November 22 brought many
coastal birds inland; a LEACH?S STORM-PETREL over the Columbia River near
Clatskanie, a BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE, 15 HEERMANN?S GULLS, and a RED
PHALAROPE to the Fernhill wetlands, two RED PHALAROPES to Westmoreland Park
in Portland, a NORTHERN FULMAR to Milwaukie, six HEERMANN?S GULLS, a LEACH?S
STORM-PETREL, a RED-BREASTED MERGANSER, and a RED PHALAROPE to the Philomath
Sewage Ponds, a Parasitic Jaeger and two Lapland Longspurs to a private pond
south of Brownsville, a HEERMANN?S GULL to Lost Creek Lake on the Rogue
River, a FORK-TAILED STORM-PETREL to the mouth of Hood River, and a
HEERMANN?S GULL to the John Day Dam.

On November 22 a LONG-TAILED DUCK was at the cove in Seaside. The Wireless
Road TROPICAL KINGBIRD is still being seen near Astoria, and one is still at
Sallys Bend near Newport. A TREE SWALLOW was seen November 22 at Smith/Bybee
Lakes in North Portland. The TREE SPARROW continues to be seen at the
Fernhill Wetlands. Seven BARN SWALLOWS were seen November 22 at Ankeny NWR.
