There were about the same number of waterfowl, but a lot fewer gulls today.
There was a good movement of pintail, scaup and cormorants. What was
interesting was that about half the pintail I saw were with the cormorant
flocks. They were also at the head of the flock. Of note with waterfowl
were 4 surf and 1 black scoter. They were with scaup flocks.
Of note with gulls was an adult Thayer's gull. The gull flew around and
landed briefly on the water. It was with a half dozen herring gulls. This
was one of my earliest dates for this species.
