Okay, all of you with your Fork-tailed Storm-petrels made me go out to
Mukilteo Beach to see if I could find one. Help me out here. I found
two small birds flitting low over the water and sometimes touching down
and then lifting off. They would sometimes fly and then glide. They
were smaller than Bonaparte's Gull and gray in color although I could
sometimes see a darker pattern on the wing. I don't know what else it
could be but a Fork-tailed Storm-petrel. Any ideas?

I also followed a dark Parasitic Jaeger as it harrassed a couple of
Bonapartes and then flew off towards Clinton on the other side of the
water.
