Hi Tweeters,

>From the Chambers Bay Beach Access (by the Chambers Bay golf course) in University Place (just south of Tacoma) for the past couple of weeks there have been 2-4 regular Marbled Murrelets, variable numbers of Pigeon Guillemots, one or two Rhinos and, surprisingly (at least to me), about 50-60 Common Murres (these off McNeil Island). It seems like this group are non-breeders or failed breeders.
