Today was a beautiful sunny day at Avalon, with a breeze out of the WNW making for a slightly chilly day.
The WNW wind brought a good movement of geese, (Snow, Canada, and Brant), as well as a good movement of cormorants and scoter.
The only bird seen today of special note was a Killdeer that fly by south directly above me, so I got a good look at the double black bands on its neck.
