Apologies for the late post but it takes me a while to sort through all of my field notes.

Highlights from last Friday's census included 3 adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS in the Cell 6 gull flocks; a variety of migratory passerines including species not often seen on-site like Blackpoll Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler, and Cedar Waxwing; a young Osprey still in the nest; and 1,623 Northern Shovelers (counted individually with a clicker).

The Greater Scaup successfully oversummered. I did not find the Redhead.
