Today overall was slower than yesterday with less numbers, but a few more species. the best was a POMARINE JAEGER that blasted through the gulls that were sitting on the lake and put on quite a show. I had a bird yesterday that went out of sight too quick that may have been this same bird. It has a white belly. Also of note were two long-tailed ducks, a single male and female.
