[obol] Lane Co. Coast

[Schrouder Don]

	We spent the day on the lane county coast with good results.  
Starting at Siltcoos outlet, we walked outside the nesting boundary  
ropes and easily located at least a dozen SNOWY PLOVERS. Over the  
ocean were traveling BROWN PELICANS and many SOOTY SHEARWATERS.
	Next stop was Heceta Head Lighthouse where after 20 minutes of  
looking we were rewarded with a TUFTED PUFFIN standing on the ocean  
side rock NW of the lighthouse. It even posed for some photos.
	Moving on north we found a WHIMBREL on the beach just past the new  
bridge work at Rock Creek.
All in all a very good day at the coast.
