There were some interesting birds today. A single BRANT that was flying with some mergansers was more than likely the one they saw and reported from Perry Park to the west. Also of note was a POMARINE JAEGER that quickly passed by heading west. An immature BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE flying with a group of 8 Bonaparte's gulls also was of note. There was a steady stream of gulls flying overhead heading west.
