Conditions were chilly and clear at the in the early a.m. yesterday. Most of the bird movement was from west to east. Highlights included Black, Surf, and White-winged Scoters, Scaup, about 40 Common Loons, Hooded Mergansers, and constant streams of Red-breasted Mergansers ( estimated over 2000 birds). Many of the highlight birds were spotted while scanning the groups of RB Mergs. A couple of groups of Snow Buntings were also seen as well. A sub adult Bald eagle with a large fish in its talons was seen just as we were departing. See you on the trails, Chris Pierce N.
