Thank you, Sy, for being the first to explain exactly what is meant by the 4th (or any other) jetty. I am ok with Sy’s terminology, but technically the inlet jetty is the only jetty at Pt. Lookout, the other 4 being groins. And for those of you who may be confused visiting there after a year’s hiatus, there were traditionally only 2 groins. Last year the Army Corps build two new ones.

It was with a score of COMMON EIDERS at the 4th jetty (inlet is 5). Other ducks included SURF SCOTER and LONG-TAILED DUCKS along with a diminished est. 600 GREATER SCAUP. PURPLE SANDPIPERS were seen on 3 different jetties. There are deep crevasses between the rocks and the shorebirds quickly disappeared after being momentarily flushed by a crashing surf. There may have been more. Three tries, but we got our target birds.
