All I can say is Wow. The weather at the Northern Oregon Coast was absolutely stunning and the sunlight seemed to always be in the perfect direction to see the birds. We caught the tide right at several locations, giving us long and clear views of the peeps. But the highlight of the day was the Lapland Longspurs! We saw over 20 of them in a flock that circled in front of us, with a few alighting on a patch of ground that gave most of us a close-up look through the scopes. In all I believe our count was 63 species on this trip. What a great day!
