Comments:   A striking difference from yesterday.  There was a modest steady movement of mostly westboundwaterfowl, that abruptly slowed about two hours after sunrise.  There was a nice mix of birds with scaupleading the pack in numbers, though there was a decent number of Northern Pintailand White-winged Scoters.
