Location: Necanicum River Estuary, Clatsop County, Oregon




Birds observed (in taxonomic order):

Snow Goose (Chen caerulescens)                         50 [1] 
Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)                         1
Caspian Tern (Sterna caspia)                           10 [2] 
Swainson's Thrush (Catharus ustulatus)                100

Footnotes:

[1]  Snow Goose: heard and seen flying over
[2]  Caspian Tern: Both adult and juveniles heard calling overhead.
     The birds seemed to be flying around in large circles--not just
     passing south. It surely seems late for Caspian Terns to be
     around.

Total number of species seen: 4

Also, lots of tseeps of sparrows or ??? heard overhead
