At around 12:15 p.m. local resident Heather Ridgeway photographed an ancient murrelet half way out the imperial Beach Pier near the bathrooms. At 3:40 p.m. The bird is still here and spending all its time swimming under the water under the pier in exactly the same area, onl briefly coming up for views but we can actually watch it swimming underwater. The female whitewing scoter and drake black scoter are also both here and providing good photo opportunities. I'll stay here till it's almost dark if anybody wants to show up and give it a try.
