At 12:45 yesterday afternoon I saw four Marbled murrelets off Lighthouse
Point at Deception Pass. I didn't have a long lens and only managed to get
a distant photo (link below). I've never seen them before but can't imagine
they could have been anything else. How likely are sightings off Fidalgo at
this time of year?

Also, a handsome male Hooded merganser was in the first Bowman Bay wetland.
Several Buffleheads were busy in Lottie Bay and a mature Bald eagle was
repeatedly harassed by a gull in the pass. About 6 Western grebes were
feeding in the middle of the pass, as well as a Pacific (?) loon.
