Day 18.071: East Point birding

Exile #2 and I drove over to Biddeford Pool to visit East Point Sanctuary. On first arrival, we thought there weren't many birds around, but they were all on the pool channel side, away from the worst of the wind. We were also grateful to spend most of our time on the sheltered side.

Here is some of what we saw.

Common eider

Common loon

Surf scoters - a small group in full breeding clown-face

Red-breasted merganser

Great cormorant - first seen on the rocks in the channel, then it flew out off the point to the post where we've seen it before

Black scoter - we saw more than thirty in total
