Sea Watch, Sunday November 15, 2009

Today we had just enough birds fly by to break a half-million birds. It was not a fantastic day, having only 1,996 birds, but it was better than yesterday!

I predict that until this unusually warm weather ends, the flights are going to be relatively slow at the sea watch.

Here is what was seen today.

American Black Duck 2
Greater Scaup 2
Ring-neck Duck 13
