Tufted Puffin
Lunda cirrhata
July 10 Point Reyes, Marin Co., Calif.: 3 seen around Chimney Rock
s. of Fish Docks (where 2 had been reported last weekend).
Two were seen together on the water 100-200 yds. beyond the
rocks- good views. They were in breeding plumage except one
seemed to lack the plumes. The plumed bird was seen with
some plant material in its bill, which it carried with it when
it dove under water several times. Another bird in breeding
plumage was seen flying along the coast just offshore.
