CAAU
Observation details
Unexpected. Seen on calm water just inside Cattle Pass. Small, all gray alcid first seen on the water; noticeably smaller than nearby RHAU. Reacted to the boat by flushing and flying south through pass; this flight response is typical of CAAU and especially notable here because it was the only alcid all day among many hundreds that reacted to the boat by flying. In flight, the bird's small bill, rather steep forehead, and pale underwings were observed. These characters are vaguely visible in the low quality images attached.
