Things started pretty slow with only four red-breasted mergansers and a few gulls before 9:00. Most of the birds listed below passed by between 9:00-10:00. There was a bit of drizzle early. Perhaps that was what kept the movement down early. Best birds were 2 male long-tailed ducks and a white-winged scoter.
