Confirmed bird sightings on the Outer Cape in the week preceding the Independent’s deadline on Tuesday, June 6 included the following, based on a report prepared by Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary.
Birds blown in over the weekend at Race Point in Provincetown included 43 Red-Necked Phalaropes, a Razorbill, 5 Parasitic Jaegers, 24 Black-Legged Kittiwakes, a Black Tern, 3 Arctic Terns, an Iceland Gull, 60 Wilson’s Storm-Petrels, 4 Sooty Shearwaters, and 8 Manx Shearwaters.
The birdwatchers of the rest of the Outer Cape apparently stayed indoors during the seemingly endless cold, wet storm. There’s not a single bird in this week’s report from Truro, Wellfleet, or Eastham.
