Well today was a little warm-up to the "big day" with over 27,000 birds. It was a big Surf Scoter day, followed by Cormorants, and Black Scoter.
There is the potential that tomorrow maybe the "big day," because it has to happen some time.
Other than a lot of bird movement nothing new showed up. We had two more Long-tailed ducks today, and today has been the biggest Red-throated Loon day at 160 individuals.
One more item of interest, we still have the flock of 11 Common Eider hanging around the jetty.
