JM Johnston 1948 Marbled Murrelet 9 Aug (cant) water as they go over. Their short tail seems to give a flip up. 11 Aug Holkham Bay Alaska Chan. 300 yds N of Ben's Island. Row 12 in what might be called more or less a group. The bunch was scattered, some close within a few feet of each other, others were 30-40 feet apart. Some shuttered & flew away as I approached them, others shuttered away and dived. They dive not simultaneously but a few seconds apart and will surface within seconds of each other. They stayed down about 20 seconds. I chased after them rowing hard, and they disbanded more or less in their efforts to get away, flying off in somewhat the same general direction toward the wider part of the bay by Harbor Island. Their flight ca fast (35mp/h)
