Greetings,
On Saturday evening August 19th at 8:30PM I was driving home through Lilliwaup and spotted a small flock (about 6 to 8) birds in the inlet. At first they looked like small seagulls, but their movements were too fast. I checked them out with my binocs and had to look them up as I'd never seen them before in the 10 years I've lived here! They were "fishing", scooping up tiny fish on the incoming tide. According to the Stokes birdbook I had at the time, the description matched the Kittiwake.
Were they passing through? Has anyone else seen them before?
Thanks for any info! Jeni
