Hi all,
I haven't really been finding/seeing any migrants (or even all that many birds) anywhere I've looked in the past couple of weeks, so I dragged myself out to go seawatching today. When I pulled up at Leo Carrillo Beach, it was overcast under a marine layer, mostly calm, and it looked like things were moving up the coast. Conditions were pretty good for seawatching. Over the next 3 hours I had 2327 Pacific Loons, 1800 Surf Scoters, 346 Brant, 75 California Gulls and a couple of other odds and ends (White-winged Scoter, Red-necked Grebe, Herring Gulls). I had several Royal Terns but no Elegant Terns. There were no actual seabirds (alcids, tubenoses, jaegers etc) to be found anywhere.
