A tad slow today with intermittent showers throughout the count. I spent a while scrutinizing what I assume was a dark-eyed sub-adult Herring Gull that gave me a California Gull vibe, which subsequently got flushed by a Bald Eagle and never returned. I suspect it was just a Herring Gull. Other than that, nothing too noteworthy. Personal highlights were 4 female-type Surf Scoters that landed in the Straits and 2 Northern Harriers migrating in the rain.
