[obol] "skimming" Curry Co. (no joy so far). Other comments follow.

It sounds as if the area we saw the skimmer at is getting well checked out.
Just a note that when we first saw the skimmer it was actually roosting in
the dunes area between the slough (backed up from the Pistol River on the
south side of the River) and the beach.  It was on the dunes directly across
the slough from the parking area on the south side of the river. Of course
it could be anywhere by now.  In any event it would be great if someone else
sees it.

Thanks Tim.  I was misinformed by the owner of a nursery in Brookings
regarding the acacia species.  I would still recommend checking out the soon
to flower eucalypt.

We spent the last hour of light at the pistol River mouth.  No luck on the
skimmer.

We saw a Snow Goose, with Canadas, flying in Gold Beach.
