Subject: [Tweeters] hundreds of Marbled Murrelets on the water off Marrowstone

This afternoon there were at least 400 MARBLED MURRELETS on the water north
of Marrowstone Island, roughly between Flagler Campground and Marrowtone
Pt, up around the Port Townsend-Coupeville ferry route. Another birder
counted over 500. It was quite astounding.

This is consistent with my observation the other day of 5 MAMU/minute
passing southbound past Pt Wilson for at least 30 minutes (and probably for
a lot longer).

I assume this concentration would include birds from Vancouver Island as
well as Washington.

good birding,
