Hello All,

Below is my bird list from Harrington Beach SP.  For those of you who
did not know, I have been doing a Waterbird Watch from the park.  This
project is run by the Western Great Lakes Bird and Bat Observatory.
http://wglbbo.org/

The main highlight was counting 64 White-winged Scoters today.  Most
were in a scattered line out front, watching, feeding, and resting.
The other highlight and first for the count, and for me FOY: were (4)
Bonaparte's Gulls flying North, by ~11:34am.

See the rest of the list below.
