Well, today was my last official day of counting. It turned into a sunny, though a bit of a nippy day with the wind.

Nothing particularly amazing or rare popped up for my last day. I had a Great Egret and I had a large flight of Canada Geese. Other than that it was a day like any other at the Sea Watch, plus the snow.

Here is the list of birds seen today:

Snow Goose 142
Canada Goose 1072
Brant 182

Mallard 31
