Shorebirders~ I searched for shorebirds in coastal Coos County, OR today. I was able to find 25 species including a rare fall coastal migrant, but no RBA rarities. The biggest miss was a Whimbrel and other possibles that weren't detected included Wilson's Snipe & Phalarope, American Golden-Plover & Buff-breasted Sandpiper. Below is a list of the birds seen & sites visited with only "new" birds listed for the latter sites.
