Avalon Seawatch, 16 December 2016


It was another frigid December day at the Avalon seawatch today.  Winds blew from the West and it was much calmer than yesterday.  The total number of birds observed today was 1,558 with the top three species being Canada goose, scoter, and long-tailed duck.  It was our best day for long-tailed ducks so far this season, with 160 individuals.  A highlight from the day was seeing a common seal! 

Check out the table below for the full set of data collected.  Visit us at the seawatch, everyday, between 8th and 9th street in Avalon!
