Everyone,

My brother reported to me that he had an Atlantic Puffin in Stockton Harbor at 1:50pm today, seen just north of the town dock from less than 150 feet off the beach. While not an avid birder, he has been on multiple pelagic trips with me and knows this species well. He said that the bill was somewhat dark, so this wasn't a full breeding adult.

I didn't didn't have any luck when I returned to look for it at 7:00pm, but I did find a drake Long-tailed Duck: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wnbirder/8982728950/

Best,
