Day 18.319: Saturday birding part 2

Here is some of what we saw at Fortune's Rocks beach and in the two nearby pools.

White-winged scoters

Many gulls on the rocks

Part of a huge raft of mostly black scoters

These female buffleheads were diving to the bottom of the pond and then bobbing up like corks

The rest of our small group for this part of the morning

We were excited to see some northern pintails dabbling with the mallards at Lords Pond

This boat seemed dressed in a ghillie suit - we assumed for duck hunting

Northern pintails - some tails are more pin-like than others
