There were more birds at Tierra del Mar today than I've ever seen
here before.  Hundreds of BROWN PELICANS, HEERMANN'S GULLS,
thousands of CALIFORNIA GULLS plus dozens of WESTERN, GLAUCOUS-WINGED,
"OLYMPIC", and RING-BILLED.  Best was a juvenile FRANKLIN'S
GULL (perhaps the same that Max and Sarah found at Pacific
City last week).

Large numbers of COMMON MURRES were in close, but I only saw
a couple of juveniles.  There was also a couple of TUFTED
PUFFINS and a smattering of PIGEON GUILLEMOTS, MARBLED
MURRELETS and RHINOCEROS AUKLETS.
