WEATHER: Windy! Strong SE winds all day made things interesting.
WATERFOWL: Despite the wind there was a decent movement throughout the day, with 10 duck species recorded including; 34 WW Scoters, 6 Surf Scoters, over 800 Scaup. 8 RT Loons, and 91 Common Loons were also recorded.
SHOREBIRDS: 2 Dunlin were it for the day.
JAEGERS: 1 Intermediate morph 1st winter Parasitic Jaeger chased a Ring-billed Gull over the Shack and north up the lake in the 5th hour of the count.
OTHERBIRDS: 1 Northern Harrier, and 1 Peregrine Falcon came in off the lake today. And a female BB Woodpecker made a brief flight along the lakeshore, before going back into the woods in the afternoon.
The forecast for tomorrow is calling for more SE winds and partly cloudy skies.
Good Birding,
