Avalon Seawatch - 7 December 2011
posted by Tom Magarian | 6:12 PM
The seawatch today was rather slow overall. It started out good, but quickly faded. Northern Gannet were the only thing flying in any numbers. A Harlequin Duck and a flock of 10 American Wigeon were nice in the morning.
The biggest highlight today was watching Humpback Whales feeding all day just the other side of the bar. There were at least two. They were bubble cloud feeding on small fish, possibly Sandlance. There was a constant flock of Bonaparte's Gulls, a couple of Laughing Gulls, and Forster's Terns taking advantage of the easy pickings. Red-throated loons were also in the fray as well.
