It was another slow day with very few birds at the seawatch. The highlight today was definitely the weather. It started out clear, sunny, and warm with southern winds. Around lunchtime the clouds started to roll in. Right before the sun set dark storm clouds passed over us and brought with it wind gusts up to 36 mph!
The top three species observed today were dunlin, long-tailed duck, and red-breasted merganser. The total number of birds observed was 324 of 17 different species. The season total for birds so far is 769,319. Check out the full set of data below to see what was counted today.
