Better to see the detail on Glaucous Gulls! Two this day, plus at least one Iceland.

Then it was the slow ride up the eastern coast to make my annual pilgrimage to Halibut Point.

| Quarry, Halibut Point State Park, Rockport, MA |
Only one Harlequin Duck, diving by itself close to the shore. A few scoters close to shore (and a zillion studding the water farther out).

And a congenial Razorbill.

Oh and a wintering Hermit Thrush, hanging near a berry supply.

School starts again tomorrow. It might be a while until I have a day like this again.
