Not a great photo, but a fun story. I've been having some trouble with my camera/lens. Today I noticed some guillemots close to shore, so I started testing my lens by practicing focusing on guillemots flying by. I would see a bird approaching from a distance, raise my lens, and try to focus.
I had done this several times when I looked through and noticed not guillemots, but auklets! I don't see Rhinoceros Auklets (Cerorhinca monocerata) from shore that often, especially during the summer, so it was a nice surprise. Not sure if they'll stay around, but if you're interested in seeing auklets, it might be worth scanning nearshore areas off Bodega Head.
