Comments: The Cruise ship Maasdam Sand Beach to Otter Cove trip. Today was raining hard with clearing interspersed between the rain drops and peeking blue sky. Birds are moving slowly today with a strong Southwesterly wind blocking migration. Small flocks of sandpipers, and Warblers were found along the shore line. Northern Gannets offshore and visible in the fog and rain.
