Observation details
A very interesting murrelet, scoped, but it moved further away, and the look wasn't definitive. Later, Jon Dunn asked me if I had seen this bird, and I said yes. He thought it was potentially a Long-billed Murrelet, but also hadn't had a good enough look. My sketch, done on the spot, is attached. There was no white above the eye (unlike on the expected Kittlitz). The bird was getting some fresh brown feathers on the head and neck, and its bill did appear long. However, I have to let this one go but attach the drawing anyway.
