There was a nice movement of waterfowl again, gulls were slow.  Of note was
a group of 9 scoters, 6 surf and 3 white-winged.  I also had another group
of 2 white-winged scoters.  There was a group of 2 long-tailed ducks.  They
were flying behind a large merganser flock.  Also of note was a flyby
merlin.  I saw one here a week ago, so it may be hanging around somewhere.



This afternoon around 1:00, there was a moderate movement of gulls.  They
flew until around 3:30.  I checked them out now and then and had a couple
glaucous and a lesser black-backed.  There were quite a few great
black-backed also.
