A dark but windless & warm morning. Had the beach nearly to myself. A surprising Lesser Black-backed Gull was at the Morse River mouth, with a small gathering of other gulls, including 12 Great Black-Backed Gulls, a species that can be scarce or absent here at this time of year, it seems.

A Rough-legged Hawk was perched at the tippy top of a skinny, bare tree on the seaward end of Wood Island, and remained there, motionless, for many minutes. Vis from Fox Island.

No Snow Buntings, No Sanderlings, No Snowy Owls, and very few sea-ducks offshore.
