Gary and I did the last census for the season this morning. The number of species using the bay and the Passagassawakeag River at some time during the season (September 1 to May 1) were 43. Today there were 27 species found. Highlights was the return of Osprey, and Double-crested Cormorants are again using the bay "monument" for nesting. There were also a single adult Lesser Black-backed Gull, Gadwall, Green-winged Teal, American Widgeon, and an unknown Scaup species. Numbers of Herring Gulls and Mallards were down substantially.
