Duck, duck, goose

Birders Joe Delabrue and Aaron Bolton tally over 700 seabirds hanging out just by the Marine Service Center dock for the Audubon Society's annual Christmas count on December 17. Though final numbers won't be tallied until next week, the Wrangell count will likely be lower than in previous years. Rough weather deterred five of nine groups of volunteers from taking to sea for the shore counts.
