Observation details
A single flock seen and photographed (exact). Unfortunately my camera settings weren't optimal so the photos are very poor. Very dark alcids with whitish bellies and fairly large, rounded bills. Whitish eyes. Lacked the crest, or all dark underparts expected for Crested or Whiskered Auklet. One smaller bird trailing behind the flock appears to have been a whiskered/Crested, but again the photos aren't good enough to serve as an aid for ID. I've included photos mostly to demonstrate the presence of non-Murre alcids. I was able to identify the birds based on the looks I had without the camera (by the time I was able to get photos they had flown farther away.
