The BONAPARTE'S GULL flock numbered 320+, with 16+ MEW GULLS among them (mostly adults, but at least 1 HY=hatch year and 1 SY=second calendar year bird were present). There were also several of the less common winter shorebirds, including 14 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, 5 WHIMBRELS, and many calling SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHERS. Among numerous GREEN-WINGED TEAL was a single adult male BLUE-WINGED TEAL. Scoping the bay from the harbor mouth turned up a COMMON LOON and numerous SURF SCOTERS. A single BROWN PELICAN worked its way north along the bay edge. A quick stop at Shoreline Lake on the way back to work turned up an immature/female BARROW'S GOLDENEYE with 16+ COMMON GOLDENEYES. The bird was in the southwest corner of the lake and was easily picked out by its nearly all orange bill (with black nail at the tip and some dusky mottling proximal to the nares), typical head shape, and dark blackish brown head color. At least 14 SURF SCOTERS (3 adult males) were on the lake - quite a few more than our resident injured 7 (which include 2 adult males).
