Being 3pm and already dark and dreary, I didn't bother to bring a camera
for a walk on Seapoint, and as I got to the point having seen nothing
whatsoever and came out along the east face, I spooked a Snowy Owl which
took off over the water heading south towards Gerrish Island and Fort
Foster. It was quite white, much like the wing-tagged male (A75) that I
photographed on Tuesday in NH (http://blog.fetchingbirds.com/?p=6601).
Off the south end of Crescent Beach were a Horned Grebe and a Common Loon,
and a lone 2nd or 3rd year white-winged gull passed overhead but I
couldn't tell if it was Glaucous, Iceland, or some hybrid. Heading back to
my car I came across a single Black-bellied Plover and a Dunlin on
Seapoint Beach that hadn't been there on my way out to the point.
A Carolina Wren was hanging around the cottages just by the parking lot. A
pretty good haul considering that altogether there really weren't very
many birds to see.
