[Tweeters] Happy flight calls in coastal Oregon

[Joshua Hayes via Tweeters]

Hi tweets,

My partner and I were camping in Cape Perpetua, on the Oregon coast, for the last 10 days. On two of the nights recently we heard birds calling in the gloaming, circling the campground and heading up into Siuslaw National Forest. Merlin identified them without hesitation as Marbled Murrelets, and given the forest makeup and the very close access to foraging habitats, that makes perfect sense to me.

Is that crazy? Is Merlin likely to have gotten this one wrong? I'd almost rather not know.

Cheers,

Josh Hayes
