During April, many of the northbound Dunlin along Oregon's coast have barely started to acquire their alternate or breeding plumage. This bird, photographed on Clatsop Beach 23 April 2016, has barely started to get rufous feathers above and black on the underparts.

Here's a mixed flock that includes a number of the most expected migrants one can find during spring migration on Oregon's beaches. This group includes Red Knots, Dunlin, Sanderlings and a Ruddy Turnstone. Missing from this group is Western Sandpiper, the most abundant migrant shorebird along the Pacific Coast.
