Nice to see them.
Went looking for some birds I wanted for my life list. Saw on ebird there was a Long-billed Curlew at Necanicum River Estuary--Little Beach, Clatsop County, Oregon
Took us a while to find the Estuary. It's kind of down in a residential area. Finally found it and when we got there we met a staff member, Mike Houck, of the Audubon Society of Portland. He was very nice and told us the Curlew hadn't been seen for a while. I also wanted to find the Tufted Puffins that were reported at Haystack Rock. He gave us directions to a place we could see them from. Said we could see it with binoculars but a scope is better.
Got to Haystack Rock and it was beautiful weather. Found the spot Mike told us about . I was able to just see the Puffins but couldn't get a photo for my ID. It was a really good day.
Went up to Washington to stay the night. Sunday morning we went to Sid Snyder beach and got to see some Caspian Terns. Got close to those. The most I've seen at one time. I also got to see a Heermanns Gulls. So I got 2 lifers. The gull was a bonus.
