Today ( above date) I have seen the highest number of Alcids sense last
February and the most Marbled Murrelets counted in one day.

Common Murre 21, Pigeon Guillemont 16, Ancient Murrelet 16 and Marbled
Murrelets 33, the number of Marbled Murrelets has increased greatly in the
last day from seeing 5-8 to the number seen today, some feeding close to
shore.

The Sea Lions both Calif. and Northern were on bait fish today not far from
shore, 400yds. The Gulls would converge on the spot with many other types of
birds following.
