Birders, I found an inat observation of a misidentified Scripps’s Murrelet that is actually a MARBLED. This, if the location is accurate, would be a first record for Orange County. Unfortunately the observer has obscured the location so I do not currently know exactly where this bird was seen, if it’s chasebale, etc etc. To add to the confusion, there is no date, it just says “December 2025”. I have commented asking the observer for a date and exact location. If/when I receive these things I will post here
