Observation details
American Birds 34 (2) page 142 : A strange bird obtained from a hunter during a bag check in November at Oka, near Montréal• (M. Fontaine, fide R. Titman), turned out to be a Marbled Murrelet (L. Alison). Although a first record east of the Rockies, the occurrence is perhaps more 1ogical than past inland records of Ancient Murrelets (including a bird in Montréal in April, 1913); the Marbled Murrdet is suspected of nesting as far as 20 mi. from the ocean. Stragglers are known from the Bering Strait area (see Condor 68:504). We are informed that the Oka specimen will eventually be &posited in the Nat. Mus. of Canada.
