Sorry I forgot to post this earlier.  Seems like these are plentiful 
right now.

Early Saturday afternoon, a small group of fair-weather trail hikers 
noted a first winter GLAUCOUS GULL moving around the tidepools north of 
the Smelt Sands Beach parking area, visible from the trail.  Later in 
the afternoon it was with a flock of glaucous-wingeds and hybrids next 
to a motel just south of the parking area, where someone was throwing 
food out a window.

A pair of HARLEQUIN DUCKS and one BLACK OYSTERCATCHER were at Seal Rock 
State Park on Sunday.  (So was Ellen Cantor, who showed a sun star to 
us!  Thanks, Ellen!)
