Observation details
Best count I could do. Small all dark alcids with orange bill plates (on those individuals still in alternate plumage, of which there were several) that extended into the lores. White irises, and white lines behind the eyes. I have attached a poor photo of one of the several flocks seen tonight, demonstrating the dark underparts (slightly paler than the upperparts on some birds, but consistently so, unlike the underparts of a Parakeet Auklet. Also, the lack of any white in the undertail coverts would rule out Whiskered Auklet). Seen very well through the scope.
