Comments: Out on a boat with Kim for a Boston Harbor Winter Wildlife Cruise with up to 200 other people who braved the chilly conditions. A good selection of seabirds but unfortunately no snowy owls. Some in group did spot a king eider however by the time I reached that side of the boat it had disappeared.
