0	133	2 SCoast		Late summer and early fall were very dry with no rain in August, and about an inch in both September and
0	134	2 SCoast		October. The winter rains kicked in on first of November though, and that month saw precip almost double
0	135	2 SCoast		normal. The shorebird migration seemed to be a little late this year with lower numbers than in the last few
0	136	2 SCoast		years. The bird of the period was undoubtedly the Common Ground-Dove photographed on the Wahl
0	137	2 SCoast		Ranch near Cape Blanco in early August, the first state record of this unexpected new addition. For the
0	138	2 SCoast		second straight year, a Blue Grosbeak was found in Curry County. Curry also had a Costa’s Hummer and a
0	139	2 SCoast		Hooded Oriole in Port Orford and a Chestnut-collared Longspur in the NW end of the county. Coos County
0	140	2 SCoast		had its first record of Ferruginous Hawk and their second record of Long-eared Owl. In addition there was a
0	141	2 SCoast		Gyrfalcon, a Sharp-tailed and Curlew Sandpiper, up to three Chestnut-collared Longspurs, an American
0	142	2 SCoast		Tree Sparrow, and a couple Great-tailed Grackles. Lane County rarities in the Florence area included a
0	143	2 SCoast		Swainson’s Hawk, a Gyrfalcon, a juvie Red-necked Stint, a “possible” Long-billed Murrelet, a Prairie
0	144	2 SCoast		Warbler, and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. An immature radio-tagged Short-tailed Albatross was just offshore
0	145	2 SCoast		the Coos, Douglas, and Lane Counties in mid-October. Eurasian Collared-doves continued their expansion,
0	146	2 SCoast		with birds seen in numerous locations. The first breeding record of Northern Mockingbird in Coos County
0	147	2 SCoast		was discovered in early September when a recently fledged bird was found near Charleston. Northern
0	148	2 SCoast		Shrikes, completely absent last winter, were back in good numbers this fall.
