The following birds were observed between 3:15 and 4:30 November 21,
2003 by Wayne Weber at Point Roberts, Whatcom County, WA. This trip
was an unsuccessful search for ANCIENT MURRELETS-- much briefer than
most of my trips to Point Roberts. The only areas visited were
Lighthouse Marine Park and Edwards Drive, with a quick stop for
songbirds at the west end of Benson Road.

There were lots of waterfowl in the pond on Edwards Drive-- MALLARDS,
WIGEON, BUFFLEHEADS, GREATER SCAUP, HOODED MERGANSERS, plus 4
CANVASBACKS, which are rarely seen at Point Roberts.
