Elegant Terns‏ Clark Blake 8/23/13

I spent the last four days birding between Astoria and Tokeland. In addition to many good shorebirds,
we had Elegant Terns in just about every place we visited. On Thursday morning, in about an hour, we watched at least
14 flying north past the North Head Lighthouse near Ilwaco. There were also at least 100 Caspians and
more than 100 Brown Pelicans moving northward. They may not get as far north as Bellingham but there is always a chance.
This was a State bird for me. A Whatcom County record would be even greater!
