Seawatch - Thursday, October 26, 2017

Late post!

A few days late but here's the recap of the Seawatch from this past Thursday. While we experienced quite the midday lull with few birds moving, the morning and late afternoon weren't too shabby. Double-crested Cormorants dominated the count but diversity was actually quite good with all three scoter species, dabbling ducks, herons, raptors, and songbirds coming in off the water.

Check out this fun list! http://www.trektellen.nl/count/view/1747/20171026

This Blue-headed Vireo struggled to make it the beach but he did it!
A duo of Brown Pelicans.
This Pelican was travelling solo.
Two White-winged Scoters flying north. You gotta love those white patches.
One of my favorite experiences from the day. This Green-winged Teal was basically leading this giant Double-crested Cormorant flock, and it made me so happy.
