Since I usually walk with my dog every day on Taylor Beach especially in the fall and winter, I am always seeing the seabirds which overwinter, diving for and feeding on forage- fish close to shore . This page will document the numbers of birds within approx 100 m of the shoreline.

*Nov 8 Notes: Nov 8 The buffleheads are usually in 2 groups, today the Common Mergansers had several males as well as the majority of females. They made 1 pass, swimming in formation from the cliffs down along the shore to Taylor road, then they flew back again presumably to do it again.
Nov 10 Notes: Today a brisk cold outflow wind from the NE.. Mt Baker visible. possibly birds are in more sheltered locations today.
