Subject: Bird Sighting on the Coast

Hi Ian,
Would you do me a favor and put something out to your birding buddies on the web?
A friend of mine reported an interesting sighting on the 26th of June and I would like some guesses as to what the birds were.
They were staying at Pacific Beach on the coast and at 5 pm that evening noticed a mass migration of birds about 100 yards offshore that were moving north. Lew said he tried to count them but that was a huge task. They kept passing by for more than 2 hours. He estimated almost a million birds. Size-wise he said they were smaller than crows but larger than jays. So, there you have it. Would love to hear what others think these might be.
