Today was a goregous day with a good wind from the WNW, but visibility was hampered due to heat waves, and so I did not see as many Gannets as I thought I would today.
We had the strongest turn out of the season so far for Double-Crested Cormorants at 1,390 as well as Blue-winged Teal at 19. And being counted for the first time this year we had both Great and Snowy Egrets at 11 and 13 respectively.
