>      Friday afternoon at low tide there were
> hundreds of CASPIAN TERNS at the river mouth.
> Most (maybe 80%) had their heads tucked in. I
> scanned for half an hour but couldn't find the
> desired Elegant Tern. Human traffic was such on
> the streets of Seaside that I forgot to check
> the street signs for names. A single residential
> street on the seaward side of the Necanicum leads
> to public beach accesss and a great viewpoint
> for the sand bars frequented by the terns. Perhaps
> one of the Clatsop County subscribers could elucidate.
>      The Gearhart side of the river affords good
> views but requires a significant hike. Heat distortion
> can be a real problem when trying to scope these sunny
> flats.  Lars Norgren
