Observation details
We thought we were crazy for a hot second, but after a long look at this boy's saltwater taffy alien face we got pretty excited! We found the bird in the scope while doing a cormorant survey on the Western Head, loafing on the rocks close to the intertidal, mixed in with a group of GRCOs. Soft uniform brown through head, neck, and wings, with a distinct line between darker neck/chest feathers and lighter ones on the belly. Creamsicle orange feet and blueish bill fading back into yellow near gape. Preening on the rock, and still present when we left after about two hours. Some digiscoped photos and videos.
