Well today was the first day that was below sixty degrees, and wouldn't you know we had a movement of over 12,000 birds today.
We started off slow today, but we had some good sightings of different birds early on such as a flock of Snow Geese, a King Eider, and a Common Goldeneye.
As the day progressed there was a fair movement of Scoter and Red-throated Loons, but it was not until the last three hours that the Loons and the Gannets really picked up and kept me busy until the end of the day.
