I reached out to COASST and they were able to identify from a photo sent one bird was a rhinoceros auklet, and most likely part of a current die off. They hadn't known it was occuring so far South. I sent pictures of all I saw, even though I wasn't doing an official survey.

This was an exceptionally warm Saturday so there were more people on the beach than I usually see but everyone was well behaved and loving the rare chance to be on the beach (and even a few brave souls in the water) without multiple layers of coats.
