I received a call from Steve Pink this morning telling me that Carol Riddell had spotted a Cassin's Auklet in Edmonds.

I couldn't get to the site until about 2:30PM. After a long search, I spotted a single Cassin's Auklet south of the fishing pier, perhaps 100-150 yards away. After 15 or 20 minutes of watching the bird, all of a sudden there was a total of 6. I didn't see the other 5 come in. By air or by sea I don't know. But there were definitely 6 Cassin's Auklets.
