Bernice Moores, Sheila McCurdy and I spent the week on Seal Is., and were h=
elped by our host, Heather Jones, a promising birder and a sharp spotter. =
The winds alternated between NW and SW, with mainly sunny conditions. Altho=
ugh we managed to see 81 species, many common birds which were expected wer=
e absent. Numbers of each species were low, but generally were seen each da=
y, so it was always interesting.
