Hi all, Conor McMahon, Kate Reed, Olivia DArezzo, Aaron Kreisberg, and I from Goleta Coast Audubon Society + Steve Colwell had a good seawatch at Coal Oil Point this morning. Loon migration was in full swing with 3540 Pacific Loons and a few each of Red-throated and Common Loon. Only 109 Surf Scoters and no Brant, which was a bit surprising. One Pomarine Jaeger, one Rhinocerous Auklet, and four Fulmars were fun to see. The highlight for me was the impressive movement of Bonapartes Gull with a total of 598. This appears to be a high count for either COP or Campus Point by a fairly wide margin, at least according to eBird records.
