We arrived here at Heceta Beach just north of Florence in early evening. A few blacks away from the house we rented thousands of shorebirds crowd the sand. Mostly Western and Least Sandpipers but a mix of Semipalmated Plover and a handful of Black-bellied. The latter still sporting their flashy black fronts. A lone Osprey fishing along the shoreline. Maybe some photos in daylight.
