Gary Gulezian and I did the census under cloudy skies, brisk winds, and temperatures in the 30's. Duck numbers were low, except for Common Eiders and Buffleheads. Herring Gulls dominated the numbers with 642 of the total number of 807 individual birds counted. Highlight of the day was an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull, which is the third year in a row that one (same bird?) has appeared on the census at this time of year. We also found a first winter Surf Scoter, which we were unable to sex, since our field guides did not cover this aspect of identification. We would appreciate any help or sources on this point.
