[EBB Sightings] Common Murre south of Albany beach

This morning at 8 am there was a common murre in breeding plumage 
standing in very shallow water along the shore about 10 yards south of 
Albany Beach at low tide this morning.  We first saw it standing in the 
shallow water just off the beach, but it walked over to the rip-rap 
after dogs arrived on the beach.  It doesn't seem inclined to swim, even 
when dogs approach.
