I spent the morning from 08:00 to 09:30 watching the ocean from
the North Jetty of the Columbia River. Notables included SABINE'S
GULL close enough to get pictures and a BULLER'S SHEARWATER seen
with NORTHERN FULMARS just off the end of the jetty.

There was a steady southbound movement of loons, mostly COMMON and
RED-THROATED LOONS and several thousand gulls. Most of the gulls
were too far out to resolve to species, though I suspect many (if
not most) were BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE.

No pelicans
