Two more days of northwest winds, two more slow days with little movement. Sunday had a mere 1460 birds, continuing the trend of half of the total being Red-throated Loons and Northern Gannets. 114 Double-crested Cormorants, 2 Snow Buntings, and a late Common Buckeye were some of the notable sightings that day. Monday had nearly 3000 birds and considerably higher diversity, hosting flocks of Canada Geese, Snow Geese, and Tundra Swans, plus a Common Eider, Common Goldeneye, and a Gadwall. For the first time in a while, Surf Scoters outnumbered Black Scoters, although the overall numbers for each were under 500. A nice 16 White-winged Scoters passed by, as well as 4 Horned Grebes.
Tuesday and Thursday are forecasted to have east and southeast winds, so expect much better days ahead!
