Sea Watch, Thursday November 19, 2009

Today the forecast called for showers, but thankfully that changed and the sun actually came for a little. However, visibility was limited and not much was flying. Yes, it was yet another slow day at the sea watch. My prediction is still holding true; this warm weather is no friend of waterbird migration.

The best birds of the day a Common Tern and three Lesser Black-backed Gulls.

Here is what was seen today:

Brant 1
