Sign In to followThanks for the ID. The Common Murre wasn't listed among the recent sightings at Elkhorn Slough during winter 2015-16, but this surely fits the description of a Common Murre in non-breeding plumage.
Thanks to all who identified this as a juvenile red-tailed hawk. You can see these photos and others of mostly Pacific Northwest wildlife posted at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ndomer73/.
Thanks to all for the ID suggestions and Happy holidays!
