Today in the morning at high water and with a pretty good sea state, there were about 1500 scoters sheltering on the W side of Crescent Beach, Lun. Co. About 2/3 of them were Surfs, the rest Black Scoters. In addition, there were about 500 Oldsquaw, 25+ Horned Grebes in breeding plumage, and a few Red-necked Grebes. It was a magnificent show of waterfowl. Farther west, at Western Head, Queen's Co., there was a slow but steady movement of Gannets and Common Loons to the NE, also a few, very distant flocks of larger alcids. A lone adult Bonaparte's Gull in breeding plumage was paddling about at low tide on the beach at Broad Cove, Lun. Co. The only land bird of note (apart from abundant apparently migrant Robins everywhere) was an Ipswich Sparrow with regular Savannahs in the spruces at the W end of the rock barrier beach at East Berlin, Queen's Co.
