Avalon Seawatch - November 25, 2011
posted by Tom Reed | 9:24 PM
A warm day with southwest winds produced a modest flight at Avalon, highlighted by a slow but steady stream of Red-throated Loons throughout the day, along with a fine selection of waterfowl. Four Black-legged Kittiwakes, including two southbound adults, were all seen during the morning, and Common Eiders continue to become more regular.
