The morning at Avalon boasted clear skies and steady bird
flight. Over 6,000 birds were
recorded before noon! The primary
species observed today were northern gannet, double-crested cormorant, and
red-throated loon, with about 2,000 individuals recorded of each species. A visit from a peregrine falcon, a nice
flight of bufflehead, and a friendly snow bunting made today a
pleasant day at the seawatch. A
notable moment from the day was observing a very large pod of nearly 40
dolphins hanging out around the bell buoy!
Total, we observed 9,179 birds today. Take a look at the chart below to see
the specifics for the day and the season!
