This evening, I did a seawatch from Smith's Point. Over the course of
an hour (6:15-7:15), I tallied 77 Sooty Shearwaters, all heading
east. There was a fairly constant stream of these shearwaters
throughout the hour, although the action did taper off as the fog
rolled in around 7:00. The assemblage of gulls in the parking lot
held 6 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (3 1st Summers, 1 2nd Summer, 2 older
individuals) as well as a 1st Summer Glaucous Gull.
Good Birding,
