The Trip:
Gorgeous hot summer day in the Portland area (in the low 90s), but overcast, windy, and chilly at Seaside Cove and Clatsop Spit (in the high 60s) ... felt good !!! ... there has been an Anchovy migration along the coast so we went to see the action ... also hoping to see a Ruddy Turnstone ... SUCCESS on the Turnstone !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... also a stop at Hammond Boat Basin.
