Observation details
Around 0.75 miles out, sitting on water, frequently obscured by swells. About half the size of the Heermann’s Gull that flew over them, looked mostly dark brown or gray in color, head appeared somewhat large in relation to body. Back was held fairly evenly not far above the surface of the water. Nothing about the birds seemed out of line with Cassin’s Auklet, just too distant to confirm. Photos seem to suggest shape described, but otherwise don't really show any details.
