It was interesting today.  The mix of birds was a bit unseal.  Four loons
passed by, including one red-throated.  I hadn't had a loon in some time
prior to this.  I also had a cormorant.  There were a lot of gulls passing
today, but ring-billed gulls far outnumbered herring.  There were two
white-winged scoters that passed by alone and a black scoter in a flock of
mergansers.
