Seen yesterday afternoon at the mouth of Perry Creek, west Oly:
40-50 bufflehead.
~12 goldeneye, mostly Barrow's, rain and distance made positive id difficult
~200 gulls, mostly GW, some westerns.

There were a fair number of salmon carcasses around, which the gulls were
busy working over. Made me wonder if the ducks were there for the salmon
eggs or fry.
