Hi all, The last week has been rather slow on the loon watching front, hence the lack of reports. Between Nov 10-13, only 23 were recorded south (and 4 north). Wednesday, Nov 14th, improved with 342 south (5 north) with the addition of a Red-throated Loon as well. Yesterday and today were nearly identical – 93/98 south (10/2 north) with 30-35 sitting on the water both days.
Other birds of note include six Tundra Swans on the 13th, Red-necked Grebes (2 on the 12th, 1 on the 13th), Snow Buntings daily, and Merlin every other day. Small numbers of waterfowl moving as well. Feel free to join the watch this weekend. Tomorrow could produce some southbound loons but southerly winds on Sunday don’t look promising.
