A great day Sunday at Deer Lagoon. Even though a fairly high tide (~6')
there was enough open tideflats and water otherwise to draw 1000s of birds.
Species in the many 100s: American wigeons, northern pintails, buffleheads,
mew gulls, dunlins
Species less abundant but common: hooded mergansers, black bellied plovers,
northern shoveler, sanderlings, pied billed grebe, glaucus winged gulls,
green winged teals
Highlight was 200+ black brandt at confluence where Deer Lagoon drains into
Useless Bay. They were onshore, very active and vocal.
