The road takes a sharp right and then a sharp left, and just past the blue (I think it's blue) house on the left there is a small parking area with a sign. The road continues to the right and the trail is on the left. The birds I saw were maybe half a mile to a mile down the trail. Some folks have luck right in the parking area. Good luck!Jen Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932953314258705622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-90423902915896659362014-01-04T16:13:13.458-08:002014-01-04T16:13:13.458-08:00Hi Jen,

We thought we saw one in the distance this morning from our hotel window at the Ashley Inn, in Tillamook, looking toward the ocean range. Drove around some of the roads out to the spit. Where exactly were you?

Sorry you missed them. We saw a young kite too, maybe the same one. Thanks again for the Rock Sandpiper tip! <br />You sharing info on Lapland Longspurs?

What a great blog. Looks like you have a Northern Goshawk up there in your header, cool thing is it is either closing or opening is nictitating membrane. Cool close up, must have ventured up to Boney Butte. :) My dog and I might hit Tillamook tomorrow, hope to see some of the same.<br /><br />Bob Archer<br />PDXOut and About Oregon Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246118760595657022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-67336924622659585332013-11-10T19:30:03.389-08:002013-11-10T19:30:03.389-08:00Love the kites et al and am feeling icky about the...Love the kites et al and am feeling icky about the clown.Laura W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11701595535440501873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-78704202669652198582013-11-10T18:01:52.195-08:002013-11-10T18:01:52.195-08:00Glad you got the kite.
