The fog today imposed horrible visibility, which made sea-watching nearly impossible. With 100% cloud coverage and fog, the end of the jetty was barely visible. The wind was very low and blew from the southeast for most of the day. Only 46 birds were observed today with the peak species being black scoter and brant.
Check out the table below to see the breakdown of bird species observed today:
