I then spent almost three hours at Winsor Dam watching for birds moving on the strong winds. Most of the time there I was joined by Scott who stayed until a little after 9:30. As expected a decent showing of scoters and Long tailed Ducks as well as other waterfowl including rare inland species such as a Red throated Loon and a group of seven Brant moving rapidly south. Also some raptor movement with most being Bald Eagles and Red tailed Hawks. The full list below:
