I headed to Lakewood Park, this afternoon (1500-1730) for a bit of seawatching.  
Rain squalls, offshore mist, and drenched optics were all par for the course, 
yet so worthwhile.  This was probably my best mid-afternoon lakewatching effort 
ever, and certainly a quite decent one for September.  A list of highlights 
follows: 

Black Scoter  1  fem/imm  flying right down the shoreline
Black-bellied Plover  35  big flock headed east
Long-billed Dowitcher  8  flock headed east
peep sp.  8
jaeger sp.  1  after fog lifted, a VERY distant bird - Parasitic/Long-tailed 
type - headed east after some aerial acrobatics
Peregrine Falcon  1

Good birding -
