Thirty me seen on freshwater lagoon. These even both male and female and all plumage noted. Apparently swim molt has not started yet (or has already been completed). 6 large flocks seen sea along Elson Lagoon and the shore of the Arctic Ocean between ARL and Nunavik. These birds were still capable of flight. Several males, even in their full breeding plumage.
