Cloudy and rainy. Light to moderate winds. Temperature in the low 40s.
Today’s outside time consisted of a drive out to Silver Bay, then stops by Swan Lake and the Channel.
With calmer conditions compared to my last look at Silver Bay (on Sunday), I was able to see there were birds out there. They were generally distant, so I didn’t try to take pictures. What I did see well enough to identify were alcids. At least two Marbled Murrelets, and some Common Murres.
Swan Lake was hosting more swans than I’ve seen there yet this year. As I write, I can’t remember exactly how many, but I think it was 10-12.
The channel was relatively quiet when I looked, though I didn’t spend long watching.
The rest of the day I spent at home, including a fair amount of it visiting with family. My brother leaves Saturday, but my parents will be here until a week from Saturday.
