Observation details
Reported earlier this morning by Mike Burchett. Refound when it flew west from eastern part of inlet toward the south jetty, then seen again riding the incoming tide back toward the eastern part of the inlet. Continued east, then swam behind the Oceana Hotel. Hung out for a few minutes, then swam back out toward the middle of the inlet. I left it near the green buoy behind the hotel. Chunky alcid with thick, pointed bill and yellow gape mark. Dark brown/black head and upper parts, white under parts, white neck and throat.
