Paul et al:
The chance of the Yates bird being a Northern Gannet is pretty much zip,
whatever it was. Having said that there is a Northern Gannet (only record off
our coast) from the San Francisco Bay Area/Farallones as Craig mentioned. It
was found in April 2013 and is still around, last reported on eBird from the
Farallones on Oct. 26th. Pretty amazing.

Dorothy,
Northern Gannet is a bird of the Atlantic Ocean. I don’t know if there are
records from the Pacific Ocean.
There are none in the records of the Oregon Bird Records Committee.

How about a Gannet or immature Gannet?

I just got a text from Kevin Yates. I had suggested he look at Frigatebirds.
He now says that is more like what he saw.
Somebody go find it.
