The day started out with a light drizzle over Avalon Sea Watch, before it cleared into a hot humid day. Visibility was partially limited due to haze, thus Atlantic City was not viewable for most of the day.
Today was another slow day of scanning the ocean, with only a slightly better count today of 74 birds, versus yesterdays count of 56. The most notable birds were the Northern Pintail that was leading six Double-crested Cormorants, the Great Blue Heron flying in from the ocean, and the Common Loon flying over in the early hours of the morning.
