Subject: [sbcobirding] Murres and Sabine's Gull at the SY River Estuary
Huge rafts of Sooty Shearwaters offshore. 2 *Common Murres* and a Common
Loon were slightly beyond the surf zone. A *Sabine's Gull* flew by heading
south. This will not be resightable, I suspect.
There were no Surf Scoter or Western Grebe flocks offshore. Get there
early to avoid the off-leash dogs.
