[obol] The Storm: Red Phalarope prise

[David C. Bailey]

Do I get a prise for finding THE RED PHALAROPE of The Storm?

Tuesday 4 Dec
RED PHALAROPE: one plump individual flew from the north and landed in 
the wrack line on the south spit of the Necanicum Estuary.
BROWN PELICAN: 60. Half flying north; the others staging in the Nec. Estuary
BONAPARTE'S GULL: 40 in flooded fields at Circle Creek and the Seaside 
Golf Course with other gulls.

Dead Stuff on Seaside Beach: the only things that looked to be victims 
of the storm were several WESTERN GREBES,  a HORNED GREBE, and a 
WHITE-WINGED SCOTER. There were several Fulmars, but these were 
deposited prior to the storm.

Two ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRDS survived the storm and continue to visit our 
feeder. No Varied Thrushes yet, and I have yet to see a Hermit Thrush on 
the coast this winter.

We came into Portland last night when they opened Hwy 26 at about 7:00pm 
last night to stay at my parents' house since the power in Seaside will 
not likely be on again until this weekend.
