[obol] Forster's Tern at Fern Ridge, new Oregon and N. American Big Day records

[DAVID IRONS]

On Saturday June 2nd, Tim Janzen, John Sullivan, Noah Strycker and I did a 
Big Day going from Yachats to Summer Lake.  We easily met our primary goal 
of setting a new June Big Day record for the entirety of North America, 
breaking the previous record of 202 species (set in Manitoba).  Somewhat 
unexpectedly we also broke the all-time record for Oregon, which was 216 
species (set by Janzen, Craig Roberts, David Mandell and Tom Love in May 
2002).    Tim Janzen will be posting a complete trip report tonight or early 
tomorrow with our ending total and highlights of the day.

For the benefit of Lane listers I thought I would pass along that we had at 
least one (I think two) Forster's Terns in the ponds south of the 
observation platform at the end of Royal Ave.
