I visited Campus Point late this afternoon and spent about 90 minutes there. Conditions were certainly good for Surfbirds and a lot of birds were resting on the point, but no Surfbirds showed up during that time. However, I had a rather good Seawatch this afternoon. Several flocks of Brant flew by, including one of over 100 birds. I also had a couple of skeins of Surf scoters and a nice group of 15 or so Bonaparte's Gulls. Flying with the gulls was a single Elegant Tern.
Loons continue to be found, both in the bay and also flying past the point. I saw all three species before I left.
