Hi -

This afternoon (Sept. 17). 4:50 - 5:20 the lower bay below the bridge had a
lot of activity.

Large, loose aggregations of cormorants (Brandt's + Double-crested) were
swimming around and diving, and coming up with 3-5 inch baitfish.

a couple dozed Brown Pelicans were present with attendant Heermann's Gulls.

Also present were 10+ Common Murres, 20+ Rhinoceros Auklets, and 2 Marbled
Murrelets, both in juv./winter plumage.

Also 1 Green-winged Teal
