Saturday featured the season's best flight to date, comprised primarily of Surf Scoter, Double-crested Cormorant and Northern Gannet. Two Bonaparte's Gulls were firsts for the season, and dusk brought a few uncommon Seawatch sightings in the form of 39 Black-crowned Night-Herons, an American Bittern and a Green Heron- all taking off for points south. Hopefully we'll enjoy another nice flight tomorrow.
