Halloween brought a treat of a flight to the Seawatch. Dabbling ducks came through in good numbers during the morning, while a close-to-shore scoter flight during the afternoon was a highlight for the several visitors who lucked into seeing the spectacle. Other goodies included a Cackling Goose that was traveling south with a mixed flock of ducks, a mid-morning Tricolored Heron that was migrating low over the ocean, and a rather high tally of 21 Ruddy Ducks.
