Another fine day but with a cool breeze, the Waxwing continued to show near the Observatory and along the east bank. The Long-tailed Duck was seen again at Gore Point together with a Greenshank and a single Snow Bunting. Four Ravens flew first east and then back west during the course of the morning.
