Today was a beautiful sunny day at Avalon, with a breeze out of the WNW making for a slightly chilly day.
The WNW wind brought a good movement of geese, (Snow, Canada, and Brant), as well as a good movement of cormorants and scoter.
The only bird seen today of special note was a Killdeer that fly by south directly above me, so I got a good look at the double black bands on its neck.
Here is the list of birds seen today:
Snow Geese 288
Canada Goose 890
Brant 187
American Black Duck 30
Mallard 1
Green-winged Teal 8
Lesser Scaup 1
Scaup sp. 5
Common Eider 2
Surf Scoter 418
White-winged Scoter 3
Black Scoter 674
Long-tailed Duck 63
Bufflehead 2
Hooded Merganser 2
Red-breasted Merganser 32
Red-throated Loon 350
