Mount Loretto 10/2--Not Much There

Aside from an influx of Yellow-rumped Warblers, Mount Loretto was practically devoid of boids this morning. The bay was empty except for some cormorants and scattered gulls. I was hoping Brant and some ocean ducks would have made their way back from up north, but not yet.
The list, such as it is.
