Oregon Coast 2024
Nice and cool on the Oregon Coast!!
Here’s a few birds and sea creatures.
I’ll let you gull aficionados give me an ID on these west coast gulls. Hint: 3 species.

Spent some time under a tree next to Lake Sommerville yesterday. Had 500-600 White pelicans, a smattering of gulls (Franklin’s & Ring billed) and 5 species of shorebirds For the 2024 Shorebird class: Can you ID the shorebirds and tell me why? (Feel free to review Eric’s fine table)
Am I prophetic?
They say you have to be crazy to get into gulls……………I didn’t last long, so still mostly sane!
Banana slug in Pac NW.
Here are a few sub-adult Ring bill and Herring pix to compare to Sarah’s Niagara falls pix. First 4 are Ring-billed, last 5 are Herring.
I had a great time on the 29th communing with a visiting celebrity in Corpus Christi!! If you haven’t heard, this is a Kelp Gull born about 1 year ago in the southern hemisphere (South America most likely). Very impressive bill (compared to Herring in pic).
