A very nice day at the seawatch today! Northern Gannets (1,433) and Red-throated Loons (2,841) put in another good showing, and scoters were moving in numbers.
There were a bunch of highlights today. An impressive number of White-winged Scoters (424) went by, 31 Common Eiders, and 7 Horned Grebes. A Red-necked Grebe flew past in the late morning, and a Razorbill went by (right down the bar!) in the day's final hour.
