Though not a rare species, nonetheless, a rare occurrence. On Tuesday, August 11 just after 9 AM we observed a yellow/orange-billed Common Murre about 5+ miles south of the Seward Small Boat Harbor. Interestingly enough another e-Birder reported a Yellow-billed Loon also south of the harbor on the same day and time. Perhaps we observed the same bird, even from the same boat?
Yellow/orange-billed Common Murres are thought to be of less than a 1 in 100,000 bird occurrence.
