I stopped by LUNA after work and saw the Surf Scoter reported yesterday. Also, 3 Black-bellied Plover were on the spit. They disappeared around 5pm after something spooked the large group of Ring-billed Gulls, 46 Franklin's Gulls and 1 Herring Gull for the second time. We could not see what spooked them.

I visited LUNA today about 4PM. Alas, no Scoter or Plovers, but a good number of ducks, especially Ruddys. I'm looking for some help here, because in the area beyond the sandspits (to the South,) I viewed 2 white Geese that could very well have been Ross's, Snow, or domestic. I was quite a ways from them, and clouds/fog was rolling in. They only appeared for a moment, and their reddish bills appeared smaller than that of a Snow Goose. Has anyone seen these geese besides me?

Good birding,
