After walking trails I sat for a while to do a "sea" watch. The lake was one big conveyor today. Merg numbers much undercounted. Had harrier a mile out and swallows were flying north from shore to horizon. MAJOR barn swallow movement with the martins coming in off the lake too. Surf scoters were a nice addition. Yellow-rumps undercounted as well.
