Two CLARK'S GREBES were seen in with a huge raft of an estimated five thousand to six thousand Western Grebes at Nile Creek. About three thousand Thayer’s Gulls along with two California Gulls and a few Mew Gulls were roosting along the tide-line. Hugh rafts of Common Murres were seen bobbing further off shore.
