Avalon Seawatch - November 26, 2011
posted by Tom Reed | 7:22 PM
It's pretty hard to complain when you can count 10,000 birds on a 65 degree day in late November- and that's exactly what we did at the Seawatch today. Another good flight of Red-throated Loons included hourly counts of over 600 at times, while peak hourly tallies for Northern Gannet surpassed 900 individuals. Species highlights included the season's second Canvasback, a Lesser Black-backed Gull, and 26 Common Eiders. Thanks to Tom Magarian for his assistance with the count this afternoon.
