Birders,

On November 20th, I spent about 1.5 hours birding at Point Roberts, hoping
to find some Ancient Murrelets off Lighthouse Marine Park. No luck with
murrelets or any other alcids. However, I did see a flock of 10 TUNDRA SWANS
flying past to the south, identified by their vocalizations. This is my
first record of Tundra Swan at Point Roberts in 40 years of frequent birding
there; even Trumpeter Swans are seen there rarely. I was just there at the
right time.

Also of interest were 20 CEDAR WAXWINGS, feeding on Pacific Crabapple fruit
along Edwards Drive just east of the marina with AMERICAN ROBINS and
EUROPEAN STARLINGS.
