I did a quick scan at the south jetty of the Umpqua River in Winchester Bay. 
  There was a female LONG-TAILED DUCK & 2 BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKES in the 
triangle oyster pond.  On the ocean were many MARBLED MURRELETS (most in 
winter plumage) as well as migrating RED-THROATED & PACIFIC LOONS.  Unlike 
Phil at Boiler Bay, almost all the Pacific Loons I saw were in breeding 
plumage or nearly there.

Good birding,
Russ Namitz

P.S.  The Nevada Himalayan Snowcock story is now up on the Nevada listserve.
