There is also the matter of Interesting Distractions.


For me 30k distant Cassin's Auklets is an Interesting Distraction
from birds moving next to shore : )  Not surprising if my report
shorted things like WW Scoters and Dave's reflects those
more accurately, given his focus was closer in.

My loon and gull numbers may also be a bit short, although
I would add that in my humble estimation based on
periodic timed counts it's unlikely there were as many
as 80k loons or 100k total gulls in view in 4 hours.

Cheers, Phil
