Observation details
*rare; viewed offshore from the Reef 'big rock' late in the evening with a couple murres. ~8th Pribilof Island record. I was in the area with an independent photographer and just happened to scan the water with my bins with some spare time. It caught my eye and immediately struck me as CAAU. I had to pull out the scope despite knowing the guest had little interest in this bird and I noticed a relatively small auklet (larger than LEAU, smaller than PAAU) that was dark breasted, with the distinct stout 'upswept' bill. It also showed the pale gray underwing bar in flight. The lower vent was whitish, as expected, though poorly illustrated by David Sibley.
