There were a lot of birds moving today. Not as many as yesterday, but I didn't have all that much time yesterday to do a complete count. Birds of note were four jaegers, 1 long-tailed, 1 parasitic, and two unidentified. The long-tailed went by fairly early (between 8:30-9:00). It was an immature light phase bird. It was heading east. The parasitic was a dark phase immature and was also heading east. The two unidentified birds were very distant and were both dark phase. Both were heading west. One appeared big like it may have been a pomarine, but it was too far out to see anything. Also of note was an immature Sabine's gull and two adult Little gulls. Also of note were all three scoters. Today was good, but there were more birds moving. Viewing was a little tougher with the steady rain at times. Yesterday I had two Sabine's gulls, both immatures, and a red phalarope. I also had a couple surf and white-winged scoters. I will only be doing a small number of counts this season as I am moving. I'm not moving too far away, but I'll no longer be along the lake. I have lake access not far away, but I won't be getting out as much. I'll miss being able to watch from the house.
