Observation details
HY bird, so not the same as the AMOY reported in July, although this one is very similar. Seen briefly flying off with a BLOY from the vicinity of Seal Rock, heading north. Got seemingly good-enough photos for the Jehl test. Only saw it in flight, so missing one factor, but here are the rest as I can make them out: UpTC: 1-2/4, Tail: 3-4/4, Chest: 3-4/4, Belly: 6/6, UnTC: 3-4/4, Thighs: 4/4, greater coverts: ?/4, stripe extent: 2-3/4, underwing coverts: 3-4/4, axillars: 4/4. This seems to suggest a score in the low 30s (possibly/probably countable AMOY). Better photos by Paul M here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S191716702
