[obol] American Pipits in Sutton Creek dunes on 2 September

[Joel Geier]

Hello folks,

It just occurred to me that, along with the interesting shorebirds and 
terns on the Lane Co. coast this weekend, a flock of six AMERICAN PIPITS 
  in the dunes one row in from the beach at Sutton Creek (north of 
Florence) on 2 September might be notable as recent arrivals (though I 
think Phil Pickering had seen one a few days earlier at Cascade Head).

Also a SAVANNAH SPARROW was nearby, not sure if those are residents 
there or if it was a recent migrant.

Full lists from Sutton Beach and several visits to Rock Creek beach are 
on www.birdnotes.net under the link for "recent data."

Good birding,
Joel
