Avalon Seawatch November 15, 2010

It was foggy all day today at the seawatch. Although it seemed at numerous times throughout the day that the fog would lift, the best the visibility ever got was just barely to the "6" buoy.

The local flock were the only birds visible for most of the day, and it held 13 Common Eider, 3 White-winged Scoters, many Black and Surf Scoters, and a single male Bufflehead.

I did manage to detect a few migrants in the fog today, and they are listed below in bold:
