Releanus erythrorhynchos
Dec. 18 Tomales Point, Marin Co., Calif.: at least
5 were resting on small islet off W. side of peninsula. 1 mi. or so from N. end, along
with many P. occidentalis, cormorants, etc.
R.W. Storer says that he has seen a small
group of this species on the same islet on
previous trips here.
It seems unusual that a few would thus
roost separately from its main flock
in nearby Tomales Bay -- in such an
atypical location for the species.
