A little before 8 this morning I found 2 female Harlequins a short
distance off of the rocks at North Point. I watched them through my
scope for about 5 minutes and then they took off, flying south, past the
North Point parking lot.
Other waterfowl present:
Canada Goose
Mallard
Gadwall
Green-winged Teal
Greater Scaup
Bufflehead

Also a slightly late Blackpoll in with a small flock of yellow-rumps
working the trees by the soccer field.
