89 Surf Scoter
74 Black Scoter

Season Totals: 36,275 total birds; 243.7 hours of observation during 75 days; Birds per hour = 148.85
2021 marks the 7th consecutive year of daily coverage or waterbird migration at Schoodic Point. Highest count year was 104,647 in 2018. Our counts do not include Herring and Black-backed gulls due to the complexity of sorting migrating from non-migrating birds. Always happy to receive questions or comments; and visitors are always welcome.
