Thursday and Friday were two very busy days! Thursday had over 25,000 southbound birds and today (Friday) had over 34,000 southbound birds! 12,000 Black Scoters on Thursday and 13,000 today kept me quite busy, as they came by consistently and often in large flocks. Surf Scoter numbers were much lower, with only around 2000 and 3000 respectively. Double-crested Cormorants were the bulk of the rest of the flight, with 7500 and 14,800 respectively!
Today had a good push of Green-winged Teal, with 581 moving past, mostly with scoters. Other notable birds were 87 Brown Pelicans and at least one Black-legged Kittiwake today.
I am admittedly quite tired, so I'm going to leave you to peruse the totals while I get some sleep!

Good birding,
