I searched for several hours from several vantage points this morning beginning just before 10. No luck. Some other birds of note were 58 TUNDRA SWANS, 2 RED-NECKED GREBES, 2 LONG-TAILED DUCKS, and a late SAVANNAH SPARROW in a flock of juncos on the way up to Salt Point.

It was swimming far to the north of Seneca Marina. I scanned from Clute Park at 60x. The huge size jumped out especially compared to the Common Loons nearby. An incredible bird for the lake and a wonderful find by the Gregoire's. After much enjoyable viewing I lost sight of him as he stretched his wings and dove once. I'm hoping he just moved up the lake to reappear later. I never saw him fly closer to the park.

Visible from the pulloff and from Warren Clute Park.

While separating the swans a huge seabird swam into view and eventually came right offshore. It was a juv. Northern Gannet!! Plumage much as the one we had there two years ago. Earlier today a Peregrine falcon buzzed that area and landed on the old salt tower at Clute Park. Many ducks in the area and in the canal including three merganser species. Three Sandhill cranes (two adult one juv) remain in Queen Catharine Marsh as well as the two adult Bald Eagles that successfully nested there this summer (they were on the nest tree). Didn't tarry much beyond that as we manged to run the battery down, get a jump start and head into town for a new battery! Worth it.
