Spent morning on pack of housing at Hatfield Marine Science Cntr, Newport, OR. Song Sparrows, White-crowned Sparrows singing, Am. Goldfinches, Barn Swallows, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Starlings. All seem to be nesting here. Checked in with Jeannie at NEWPORT WATER SPORTS (503) 867-3742 to confirm tomorrow's zodiac trip out into the ocean. Supposedly everything's set for fun. soon, when the drivers will show. Went up to Yaquina Head to check gull types, then on to Lincoln City to look for gun shops. Back at the Head for Sunset.
