Anne and I did not find yesterday's Graylag today. For some reason the  
big flocks of Canadas did not come to the head of Yarmouth harbour  
today, but stayed in several large scatterd flocks in Overton, the  
Yarmouth Bar area and close to Chebogue Point. We searched these  
flocks as best we could but no luck.

Among the highlights of the day: 5 Eurasian Wigeon (3 males, 2  
females), lots of Scaup (both species), a female Barrow's Goldeneye, a  
Red-throated Loon, about 20 Turkey Vultures, a completely brown  
Rough-legged Hawk, an Am. Kestrel, and an Am. Coot. The most  
entertaining sight of the day: 20 Snow Buntings perched atop the Cape  
Forchu light tower.
