[obol] 6/27 Coos Cty BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER

[Tim Rodenkirk]

Wow, incredible!  It was an adult Dave, right?  I looked at my records and noticed you had an adult on 7 July 2003 on the north spit of Coos Bay, one of two records of adults for Oregon.  As far as I know all August and September records are of juveniles.  This has got to be the earliest southbound record or the earliest non-breeder or the earliest whatever.  Mid-August is normally considered "early" for juvies.

Pretty cool!
