From Saturday 7-28.
proved to be rather low on the bird activity scale. Young of the year dominate the
excitement on campus as a variety of adults were again seen feeding their progeny; Chipping Sparrow,
Dark-eyed Junco, Black-throated Green Warbler, Golden-crowned Kinglet.
Red Crossbills can be found on nearly a daily basis, both visually and vocally.
Butterflies and dragonflies filled in gaps when birds were absent!
At the point (1-3 PM), 12 Northern Gannets were actively diving, though nearly at the limit of binocular reach.
Within a stone's throw of shore a couple of Common Eider rafts (total 156 individuals) were easily studied.
A lone Black Scoter flew over the "loafing" eiders.
Gulls are a constant, three species were seen (HEGU, GBBG, LAGU).
Black Guillemots, too, were active here and there around the point.
