We received this photo from Ruth Offen, “Just saw this gathering of I think commerants or loons all floating together. First thought it was herring ball, but not. Have you or anybody else seen this sight before?” Click on the photo to enlarge the image and if you know these birds and what they are doing please leave us a comment…

Picture’s a little fuzzy, but it looks like raft (flock) of Common Murres (not so uncommon in the San Juan’s during winter). They’re probably camped out on a bait ball of herring or smelt waiting for the next opportunity to feed. Definitely not cormorants or loons.
