J’s, K’s and L’s really spread out from Salmon Bank heading toward Cattle Point to Eagle Cove all the way to Turn Point, foraging with the strong flooding tide. Today, from 2:14pm to 3:40pm, we got a nice looks at J-27 Blackberry, one of the new J babies, and K-20 Spock with energetic K-38 Comet who breached 3 consecutive times! The air was rich with that bait fish smell. We are seeing more marine birds than last summer, and I am thrilled to report my first sighting in 2 years of 3 Tufted Puffins, all dressed up in their beautiful breeding colors!!
