I also had a flock of 25 Black-legged Kittiwakes. They have been hard to come by this year. I often see hundreds in the Fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I headed north to Clam Lagoon (and points in between) and when I got to the Breaches, I discovered that they had been breached last night. There were a lot of new rocks on the road (thankfully, not too large) and I could see where the water had flattened the vegetation as it rolled over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had mentioned in an earlier post about waves depositing kelp on the seawall. Well, these waves washed most of it away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An odd sighting I had was a flock of a dozen Common Teal on the surf off the Seawall. I am always taken aback when I see “pond” ducks on the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the afternoon, I dismantled and stored the feeders, then went back out, but didn’t add anything to the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I was having dinner, I got the message that there was a Bewick’s Swan up at Clam Lagoon. So after I finished, I went up there, but it was gone. I had one on Adak back in May 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all leave tomorrow. My next post will be either Sunday afternoon or Monday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Trip List is 64. The Year List is 93. Both depending on the Jaeger identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
