Tweeters,
A fine, bright day, but with few birds seen during this scan. A couple of guys in a skiff were hauling in some nets; this disturbance probably kept birds away from the area near Turning Basin #3.

Birds seen included the following:

Mallard (2)
Double-crested Cormorant (5; including one seen eating a small flatfish of some kind)
Great Blue Heron
Glaucous-winged Gull (8)
Rock Pigeon (17)
American Crow (6)
American Robin (2; the first since summer--kinda hard to believe, but that's the way it is here)

May all your birds be identified,
