We picked up 61 species between 11:30 and 4pm, as listed below. Thousands of ducks were beyond my scope range in the bay, but we could spot a Clark's Grebe and a male Barrow's Goldeneye by Hook Island. Today's raptors came in twos or threes. The water was glass and the sun warm, but the air was quite cold!
