It should be noted that Cassin's Auklet is certainly a possibility in
odd places, esp. following windstorms. Back in the '80s I fished a
dead one out of the water in the Montlake Cut by the U.W. I donated
the remains to the Burke Museum, as it was still in good condition,
and the record was published in some issue or other of American Birds.
