Yesterday {Sat. 12/21} at ~ 0735, I had the above, a large dark individual. Also seen were ~ 25 C. Eider, ~ 12 N. Gannets,, ~12 C Goldeneyes and 6 Great Cormorant. I also tried briefly for the Pacific Loon seen previously by Guy Tudor at Orient Beach State Park, without connecting. What I did see however, was the largest mixed flock of finches (feeding at the side of the road) that I have seen in quite awhile. There were ~ 50 bids, in close to equal parts.
