Sea Watch, Saturday November 28, 2009

Today was another day of cold weather and strong wind out of the west.

Though today was like yesterday, there was a strong movements of ducks!

We had large numbers of Buffelhead, Snow Geese, Green-winged Teal, and Long-tailed Ducks, as well as Tundra Swan.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

And thanks to Doug, the swing counter, I was able to slip a way for a little while to see the Ivory Gull. Thanks Doug!
