Seawatch Sunday, October 18, 2009

With a 90% chance of rain I was expecting yet another character building day of wind, sea spray, cold, and rain. We had the latter three, but there was hardly any rain today!

Despite getting a break in the weather the scoter decided they would not move in large numbers today; and it seemed the other birds were of the same mind.

Here is a list of birds seen today.

Snow Goose 1
Brant 16
American Black Duck 25
Green-Wing Teal 3
Great Scaup 2
Surf Scoter 322
Black Scoter 1304
Dark-winged Scoter 178
Red-throated Loon 18
Common Loon 5
North Gannet 35
Double-crested Cormorant 5,611
Great Blue Heron 38
Great Egret 3
Laughing Gull 12
Herring Gull 32
Ring-billed Gull 4
Royal Tern 4
