Had a great morning in Jefferson County. At Indian Island County Park
there were six male HARLEQUIN DUCKS feeding close to the shoreline.
About 150 BRANT were resting on the spit.

Mystery Bay was quiet. One GREATER YELLOWLEGS was feeding.

At the west end boat launch in Fort Flagler State Part I had a truly
exciting (for me) view of a HARLEQUIN DUCK and a LONG-TAILED DUCK in
the scope at the same time under full sunshine. Spectacular views.
There were about two dozen Long-tailed Ducks and six Harlequins in
sight at one time. Also present were about a dozen BRANT. A wide
variety of other water birds were also present.
