The highlight of the day was a close Cory's Shearwater in the morning that eventually returned for prolonged looks later in the afternoon, albeit at a greater distance. A nice push of 51 Forster's Terns was also notable. Beyond that, the day was rather slow, with 114 Black Scoter and only 3 cormorants.

Looking Ahead
A cold front is coming through on Thursday night, bringing with it NW winds and cooling down the temperatures. East winds are then forecasted to start Sunday afternoon and last through Tuesday evening. As the days begin to get shorter and October arrives, coupled with cooling temperatures and easterly winds, I expect the seabird migration to start picking up soon!
