Greetings all,

We enjoyed a wonderful day on the ocean today, with mostly calm seas with great viewing conditions. Except for the brief period of rain encountered on the way out, the weather was great all day.

Highlights of the trip include:

2 Flesh-footed Shearwaters
2 Xantus' Murrelets (seen by only a few)
A good number of Cassin's Auklets
3 Tufted Puffins
3 South Polar Skuas
3 Long-tailed Jaegers
3 Pomarine Jaegers
1 Parasitic Jaeger
70+ Arctic Terns

And the usual assortment of birds of the season.

The full list will be on westportseabirds.com within the next few weeks.

I have put some photos taken today on my flickr site.
