Tweeters,
Today just before noon I found an adult TUFTED PUFFIN swimming
just off the West Point lighthouse in Seattle's Discovery Park, amongst
a loose flock of Glaucous-winged Gulls. Alas, if that's the word, no
sign of any Horneds, but further off was tight raft of about a dozen
Rhino Auklets together with two birds that showed a lot of white on
their sides - *possibly* Common Murres. Great week (or so) for
alcids at the park!
