Winds had concentrated Atlantic Saury on the north side of the causeway. Thousands, probably 10,000, birds were there to take advantage. Highlights (numbers estimated): Northern Gannet 2500-3000 Double-crested Cormorant 40 Bald Eagle 50 Herring Gull 5000+ Great Black-backed Gull 1000+ Iceland Gull 15 Bonaparte's Gull 90 Ring-billed Gull 12 Black-legged Kittiwake 50 There were also 2 storm-petrels, very likely Leach=B9s. Other birds of note were a few Common Goldeneye, including a hybrid Barrow=B9sXCommon at Embree Pond in Port Hawkesbury that Ken McKenna picked out, and a Red-winged Blackbird at Point Tupper.
