Seawatch, 22 November 2015

The weather was less than favorable on Sunday up at the Avalon Seawatch, with steady rain throughout most of the day. This didn't stop the flight entirely though, there was a decent smattering of ducks, the 2015 season's single-day high count for Red-breasted Mergansers with 222, and the 3rd Pomarine Jaeger of the season.
