Jordan Roderick sent two photos of this plant from Pin Peak on Coronation Island. It looks like Oxytropis campestris. It's an interesting find as the plant is listed by Mary Stensvold as occuring in the northern part of the panhandle. Not sure from Judy Hall's range description if it has only been found in Yakutat. I'm hoping that he pressed a specimen...

The marbled murrelet count was down on Monday. I believe the total for the hour was around 50 murrelets. There were a rather large number (about 90) rhinoceros auklets. There was a group of approximately 300 auklets west of the immediate count area.
