>From Larry Flynn, Dennis Varza, and Brian Webster (about 10:30a-about 2:00pm)- In addition to the birds, we had about 11 Harbor seals and at least 2 Gray. The only shorebird, anywhere, was a single Killdeer near the sewage treatment plant near the aquarium. Gorgeous day to be out... warm, sunny, light winds, calm Sound. Scoter flock no where to be seen. Only 5 White-wings. Long-tails are really starting to change plumages. Credit goes to Dennis for the 1st winter Iceland and the Pintails. The Pintails were in a tight group flying through a very busy area... great pluck.
