I stopped at Peter Iredale overlook this morning
and watched the ocean for a short time (<10mins).

I saw at least 200 COMMON MURRES go by in groups of
20-50. Loons were on the move as well. Those close
enough to see appeared to be split between PACIFIC
LOONS and COMMON LOONS.

A series of winter storms is predicted over the next
several days (a high wind warning has been posted for
this evening).

Could be an interesting week for the intrepid seawatcher.

you must also be right.
