[Maine-birds] Schoodic SeaWatch

Another fine morning from the Point.
First snow bunting of this season's sea watch.

69 Common Loon
9 Red-throated Loon
50 Northern Gannet
207 DC Cormorant
65 Common Eider
7 Long-tailed Duck
8 Red-beasted Merganser
4 Black-legged Kittiwake
4 Ring-billed Gull
3 Surf Scoter
1 White-winged Scoter
1 Black Scoter (another 10 going opposite direction)
2 Harlequin Duck (males, non-migrants; feeding along shore)
28 American Crows - three groups at separate times, confused by land's end, wanting to go south
but reticent due to water crossing (or so it seemed); headed north along peninsula.

A morning like this makes one want to instantaneously transport to Avalon, NJ (personal inspirational site for sea watch addiction).
