A small group of observers including Nancy, Logan, Caitlin, and John witnessed an amazing waterfowl flight at Battery Godfrey today as offshore winds pushed upwards of 20 mph with cold temperatures and clear skies. Right after sunrise, a distant swan (presumably Tundra) led a group of unidentified dark geese from over the Point Bonita arm northeastward, entirely within Marin County. The flight picked up from there, with our attempted tallies of the flocks outlined below, all of which are significant undercounts of the numbers coming into the gate. Geese continued to pour in when I left at noon. Logan spotted an adult female COCOS BOOBY in the channel under the constant harassment of gulls and it remained there throughout.
