Hi I'm at Seaside Cove at about 4 p.m. There is a non stop stream of what
appear to be thousands of Sooty Shearwaters flying N to S out past the
breakers.  Dozens of Brown Pelicans, Sooty Shearwater, and Common Murre and
gull spp. Are drop diving for fish. There is one American Pelican, as
well.  Also watched at least two of small cetaceans criss- crossing the
Cove. Must be good eating here in the near shore, I suppose the cetaceans
are  dolphins..and are not sharks.  Earlier this afternoon at Bayocean, I
observed a mixed flock of around 50 Western and Least sandpippers on the
mudflats along the levy road out to the spit. Good birding! Meg
