Little Gull and Razorbill at Atlantic Beach, NC



On Saturday, I spent about 2 hours on Triple Ess Pier, watching the
ocean.  About 10:30am - 12:30pm.

Steady stream of northbound migrants.

Had about 5000 Bonaparte's Gulls, about 85% of these were adults.  One
adult Little Gull, which was a lifer for Jim and Laura O'Donnell.

About 250 scoters, all of which were Blacks.  Did not see even one Surf
Scoter.  Had 3 Blue-winged Teal in the scoter flocks.  Also several
scaup.

Had 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull flying up the coast, and 1 Razorbill on
the water, drifting westward.  It was only about 100 yards off the end
of the pier.
