[obol] Astoria birds this weekend

[Hannah Fritz]

We were in Astoria (Ft. Stevens) this weekend but due to a variety of
circumstances, I didn't get to do as much birding as I has anticipated.

The few highlights of the weekend, for me, were:

Black-bellied Plover (1) - Beautiful bird, definitely most exciting for me
this weekend; S Jetty beach (Area B)
Common Loon (2) - First time I've managed to see them in Oregon (though I
know they are regularly here), Columbia River mouth
Whimbrel - several at various locations
Dunlin - one flock fairly close up, pretty stationary until I looked away
for a few seconds and looked back and they were gone
