Today seems to be the start of a encore performance of four days of wind and rain that was brought to us by a double Nor'easter weather event; however, this time Ida will be sponsoring this week's venue.
There was not a whole lot seen. Only 6,905 birds, a very very slow day when compared to other days. I had perhaps been expecting more Scoter movement, but only one hour's count broke 1,000 Scoters.
Today continued the trend of setting an ever higher record for Common Eider. Today we had 43 COEI bringing the year to date total to 321.
Here are the totals for today:
Brant (Atlantic) 9
Greater Scaup 11
Common Eider 11
Surf Scoter 318
White-winged Scoter 6
Black Scoter 241
Dark-Winged 5506
Long-tailed Duck 2
Bufflehead 1
Red-breasted Merganser 72
Red-throated Loon 169
Common Loon 12
Northern Gannet 144
Double-crested Cormorant 66
Laughing Gull 94
Ring-billed Gull 141
Herring Gull 25
Great Black-backed Gull 18
Common Tern 1
