Avalon Seawatch - November 29, 2011
posted by Tom Reed | 7:32 PM
[Red-throated Loons against the dawn sky at Avalon this morning. Photo by Tom Reed.]After several strong flights, today ended up being rather quiet at the Seawatch. A mixed bag of weather seemed to hamper today's flight, with rain, fog, mist, shifting winds and even occasional breaks of sunshine all combining to make for curious flying (and viewing) conditions. Red-throated Loons produced a 1,000+ total for a remarkable 13th day in a row, and we now sit about 7,000 birds shy of the single-season record for the species.
Northern Gannets were really the only other species moving in noticeable numbers today, with scoters again having a weak day. A few gulls winged past early on, highlighted by two close Black-legged Kittiwakes. The clearing front may bring more dabbling ducks, geese and gulls tomorrow and/or Thursday.
American Black Duck - 2
Northern Pintail - 2
Surf Scoter - 636
White-winged Scoter - 1
Black Scoter - 193
dark-winged scoter - 59
Long-tailed Duck - 10
Bufflehead - 1
Red-breasted Merganser - 8
Red-throated Loon - 1,030
Common Loon - 1
Northern Gannet - 703
Double-crested Cormorant - 2
Laughing Gull - 17
Bonaparte's Gull - 24
Ring-billed Gull - 35
Herring Gull - 27
Great Black-backed Gull - 9
Black-legged Kittiwake - 2
Forster's Tern - 9
(Total = 2,771)
