I was joined by Jim McCormac this morning.  It was actually pretty calm at
the start of the day with a little drizzle early.  As a result there were a
lot fewer birds moving today.  There were still a lot of great birds.  Any
other year this would have a great day with 119 brant 3 harlequin ducks, 2
white-winged scoters, 32 black scoters, and 2 long-tailed ducks.  After 930
it started to drizzle and it got a little misty making it hard to see far
out.  A little after that the wind switched direction and it got breezy.
Things picked up slightly after that, but with the rain and mist we decided
to head east.
