The Red Fox is still frequenting the beach on the Lawlor Island side of =
Eastern Passage.  He was alone today - there were two of them last week.

A Redhead Duck swam up the Eastern Passage channel along with the Common =
Eiders and White-winged Scoters yesterday.  The WW Scoters have thinned =
out in numbers significantly from last week.  There are now very few =
Surf Scoters in the passage as well =E2=80=93 only two  yesterday and =
none today while there were maybe six WW Scoters yesterday and only two =
today.   Last week there were dozens of each variety.   The numbers of =
Common Eiders are also down from last week - mostly drakes. =20

An Osprey was hunting over the Passage today and I saw four Song =
Sparrows singing in the bushes by the boardwalk at MacCormack=E2=80=99s =
Beach.
