The Trip:
Overcast and gray day ... went to Astoria, Hammond Boat Basin, Trestle Bay and Clatsop Spit, and Wireless Road hoping to find the Common Terns, Bonaparte's Gull (black-headed), Red-necked Phalaropes, and the Hudsonian Godwit which had been being seen there ... no luck on the Bonaparts or Godwit, but found the Common Terns and Red-necked Phalaropes !!!
