Yes, I received a photo from Jon Shiu of the large group of Common Murres off the Mendocino Headlands on Friday, Jan. 17, 2025.

Seen and heard offshore, from the middle parking area on Mendocino Headlands at 9:30 Friday morning, a raft of several hundred very vocal (likely) Common Murre. (Left my scope at home, and am always open to tactful correction).
Their sounds include a seabird colony guttural “purring,” and what resembles the bleating of many demented lambs.
