California Murre in Orange County, California.

On January 19, 1929, I discovered a live California Murre (Uris troille california) on the ocean shore at Sunset Beach, Orange County. The bird was in a weakened condition, with considerable oil on its underparts. The southernmost record for the species is only a few miles south at Newport Beach, in the same county (Van Rossem, Condor, XVI, 1914, p. 144).
