waterbird survey on 10may2025

[Furbish - Klensch]

Waterbird survey on 10may2025.  A number of shorebirds have shown up, along with some Great Blue Herons.  Still quite a few duck species, but not high numbers.  

The Red-throated Loons and the grebes were a highlight for me.  It was Horned Grebe central with an unusual high count of 248, most were in Dyea outer bay.
