The only notable seabird change from yesterday was that Gannets (including an adult)were moving more consistently. Another thousand+ day of Cormorants was again almost enirely concenrated in the morning. The non-waterbirds were probably more notable today, including 6 species of raptor, a Dickcissel which perched obligingly for a brief period, and a flyby Marbled Godwit.
