Yesterday 11/18, I did a seawatch from Pigeon Point. Clear visibility out to the horizon. Somewhat slow, where most of the activity were feeding frenzies spread out over the horizon madeup of pelicans, gulls and murres. Here is a partial list of what was noted. ( 3,705 ) Surf Scoters, ( 1 ) male Black Scoter, ( 1 ) male Red-breasted Merganser, ( 400 ) Red-throated Loons,( 6 ) Common Loons, ( 610 ) Pacific Loons, ( 1 ) Northern Fulmar, ( 1 ) Pink-footed Shearwater, ( 23 ) Bonaparte's Gulls and ( 8 ) Black-legged Kittiwakes. After the seawatch, a WanderingTattler was with Black Turnstones on the rocks south of Pescadero State Beach during high tide. A run of White-throated Sparrows in the county the last couple of weeks, where ( 1 ) was along Tunitas Creek Road. On the 16th, Leonie and I were surprised to note ( 13 ) Bonaparte's Gulls on the Redwood Shores Lagoon. I only note about a couple every November along the bayside.
