The weather wasn't too bad here other than the wind. There was a very light
drizzle, but the heavier rain was to the west. There was a ton of birds
moving today. They weren't moving much the first hour and a half, but after
that things picked up rapidly. There were good waterfowl with all three
species of scoter, including a couple good sized flocks of black and surf
scoters. There was also a young harlequin duck, long-tailed duck and a
brant. Other species of note were red-necked grebe, pomarine jaeger, and
little gull.
There seemed to be birds moving until about 2:00, but after that things
slowed down pretty quick.
