The weekend was packed with birds! Saturday and Monday both had over 26,000 birds! Here are the totals from the past few days (click the day to see the full breakdown):
Saturday: 26,908
Sunday: 7529
Monday: 26,465
Tuesday: 3136
It's impressive how slow 7500 birds can feel after a day of 26,000! Over, a huge push of scoters made up the bulk of the migration, with a decent number of cormorants as well. There's also been an increase in Red-throated Loons and dabbling ducks like Wood Duck and Green-winged Teal. The first Bonaparte's Gulls, Red-breasted Mergansers, and Humpback Whale were seen as well.
Looking ahead: South winds are forecasted for this weekend, as well as on November 1st and 2nd. Considering that this is generally our peak movement times, I would expect some of those days to be quite big! Come on out to the seawatch soon!
