[obol] where to find rock-dwelling sandpipers?

[MARCIA CUTLER]

Depoe Bay is a good place to find rock-dwelling sandpipers with the advantage that they're right below where you park alongside the highway.  In early December, Paula Vanderheul and I found Black Turnstone, Surfbird, Rock Sandpiper and also Black Oystercatchers there during high tide.

  Greetings all,
  I enjoyed a nice day birding around Newport today and observed the previously discussed Glaucous Gulls.  However, I was surprised not to see any of the rock-dwelling sandpipers such as Surfbird, Black Turnstone, Rock Sandpiper, or Black Oystercatcher on the jetty.  Where do you regularly find these species?  
  On side note, I inquired with the technology folks at OSU about a 'search' feature for the OBOL archives that examines the content of the post as well as the title.  Unfortunately, the list-serv software they use does not provide this capability.  So, if you wish to search for a topic, such as Rock Sandpiper, you are limited to checking the subject lines month by month.  I mentioned this because I like to do a search of the archives before I post.  
  Thanks!
