I made a brief late morning visit to *Pt Pleasant Park* today, and it was a
very high tide, which likely explains the absence of any Purple
Sandpipers.  The big surprise, though, was in the waters off the "Anchor",
where there were two large rafts of diving ducks.  In combination there
were 150+ Common Eiders, and more than *200+* *Black Scoters*.  The only
other bird of note was a lone sleeping scaup, of indeterminate species,
perhaps the one seen last Saturday by Richard Stern.

Good (winter) birding,

Blake
