Hi birders,
I meant to send an email earlier but given the email issues with my phone... pardon the late report.
There was a BLACK-LEGGED KITTIWAKE on the east rock jetty, at the Santa Cruz Harbor entrance. Seen around 3:40pm 4/1/2025. Unfortunately, all I had with me at the time was my cell phone, so the photo is atrocious. To add insult to injury, as I tried to get closer for a better photo, it flushed. It seemed to circle the harbor looking for another place to land so hopefully others get a chance to see it.
For more details and cringe worthy photo, see the ebird report:
