It was no 20,000 bird day, but I had quite the enjoyable day on the Seawatch sand. A sweet and steady early flight of Double-crested Cormorants, scoters, and Northern Gannets comprised the majority of today's count but we also had both species of loons (including a close flock of Red-throated Loons with one individual vocalizing!), my first Bonaparte's Gulls of the season, and a Bald Eagle chasing a Gannet! We also had the first big push of Northern Gannets today with just under 500 counted -- they're coming, guys.
Check out the Trektellen totals here to see all the goodies:

| If you ever want to see dolphins, come to the Seawatch! We see them almost every single day. |
