Top left in flight low on water.
Observation details
Small softball sized bird with wings. Had a weird flight pattern which is how I picked up on it. Smaller than nearby rhinos. Mostly grey with some white underneath. Sun makes the bill look lighter in photo, but was darker color. Didn't make out exact color though whether grey or blackish. Came from the south (right to left) moved across a large grouping of gulls/murres, low on the water. At third bait ball. Location is an estimation. Bob Voegel (sp?) could probably get better idea of coordinates. By the time I called it, the view was just tail feathers. Bob was on the mic talking about murres at the time and it was windy. Woman to my right may have gotten photos. Don't think rest of group heard. Photo confirmed with some other birders.
