Hey tweets,

I was scoping from near the Coast Guard station.
Upon review of my notes/memory and checking references, I am getting more confident about this being a Long-billed.
So, if anyone is out there chasing the Thick-billed Murre, scan thru to crowds of Marbled Murrelets for this guy ..
( for the CBC we counted at least 40-50 Marbleds in the harbor)

Good luck!

Ps. I Saw the Sequim Harris's Sparrow this morning, but dipped on the Gardiner Emperor Goose ...
