These are the first I've seen out here this winter. The real surprise was an American Pipit. They have successfully overwintered here in the past but have been absent in recent years during January. Other attendees were Long-tailed Ducks, Red-breasted Mergansers, Common Goldeneyes and at least one Hooded Merganser in Indian Harbour. Sambro Harbour was also active with three more Dovekies, four Common Loons, a dozen Red-breasted Mergansers and at least 12 Black Guillemots. No doubt, there were more of these species around the basin but I didn't scan the area preferring to photograph these guys as they passed by the pier on their fishing sorties.
