Between the hunters' decoys and the stiff winds, there were very few birds of note in CCSP. I did get a handful of decent photos of three Snow Buntings who were watering themselves on the beach. There were also close to 200 Starlings hanging out in the field up by the locked bathrooms. There were, however, no waterfowl to be found. Men in camouflage sitting in aluminum boats, yes, loons, scoters, mergansers or grebes, no. Additionally, there were 12 Ring-billed Gulls on the beach.
