A much slower day compared to the past couple days but good nonetheless. The Long-tailed Duck movement seems to be calmed for the time being and Redheads returned as the dominant mover. Granted, a large portion of my Redhead and duck sp. numbers were from a large group of about 600 ducks that rose up from the east side of the bridge. It also ended up as my best Greater Scaup and Black Scoter day. Lots of American Crows were on the move and a handful of raptors as well. Raptors seem to be winding down as of late.
