Observation details
How cool! This was an exact count we tallied, mostly from one spot over the course of 60-70 minutes. Essentially all of them were working to the northeast (into the wind) along the beach. Most of them were low and quite close above the surf. There would often be a string or group of 5, 10, sometimes 10-20 at once. We noted more first-winter birds this morning than in previous days but they were still greatly outnumbered by adults.
