Avalon Seawatch - 8 December 2011
posted by Tom Magarian | 10:59 AM
The seawatch had a steady push of Northern Gannets and Red-throated Loons. There was a lone immature Brown Pelican that headed south late in the day. This is getting rather late for this species. There no sightings of whales, with was rather unfortenate, as a couple of people came hoping to see one.
