This is a very fun place. Any sort of bird could have flown by without my noticing because I was busy looking down at the tide pool life. Here are some birds I did see.

Bonapartes gull 2
EARED GREBES
common loon 2
Mallard 1
Double crested comorant 3
Scaup
F Hooded merganser 1
Unidentified Shorebird (far away) Sanderling?
Pigeon guillemot1


The grebes were doing their mating dance so I watched them for a long time. A gull dropped a pregnant crab right in front of me just barely missing my head. How insulting.
