WEATHER: The day started of bleakly, with fog so dense I couldnt see the end of the point from the Shack, eventually it cleared off and became a nice sunny day with light NW winds.
WATERFOWL:It wasn't too bad of a day for waterfowl. 1327 RN Grebes went past today, including 600 in the fifth hour! Ducks moving included Mallards, Blue and Green-winged Teal, Am. Wigeon, Lesser Scaup, and Northern Shoveler.
SHOREBIRDS: 1 Buff-breasted, 4 Baird's, and 13 Sanderlings continue to be present around the point.
OTHER BIRDS; Chris found a Black-backed Woodpecker in the woods that made a brief flight by the Shack in the morning, as well as a young Northern Goshawk that spent much of the afternoon hunting along the tree line.
The forecast is calling for NW winds tomorrow, so the migration should be nice.
Good Birding,
