A group of birders braving blasts of icy rain could not find the Common Eider at Chub Point south of Grafton this morning, Sunday October 2. Gulls, Common Loons and Red-breasted Mergansers formed small feeding frenzies on the lake. Small numbers of Horned Grebes and large numbers of cormorants. 5 White-winged Scoters flew east as did a group of 20 windblown Tree Swallows. There was an early Snow Bunting on the beach. Will post if the eider turns up again.
