Seawatch - November 19-25, 2018

The past week had several good days with 10,000+ birds, consisting of a lot of Red-throated Loons and scoters!  Here's the weekly breakdown (including northbound birds):

November 19: 18,923
November 20: 15,627
November 21:   4,548
November 22:   3,517
November 23: 14,618
November 24: 10,071
November 25:   5,005

Rarities this week included a King Eider, a Black-legged Kittiwake, and a Pomarine Jaeger, as well as some Common Mergansers and two Canvasbacks, which are unusual past the Seawatch.  Also very interesting were a Common Redpoll north past the Seawatch on the 19th and an American Woodcock coming in off the ocean on the 22nd.  The 19th and 20th had big Red-throated Loons days, with 6400 and 8200 respectively.  The 23rd and 24th had over 5000 and 6000 scoters respectively.
