Long-billed Murrelet	Long-billed Murrelet	Unsubstantiated reports from Sitka and Glacier Bay, apparently a collection taken near Howkan in 1897 originally identified as Marbled Murrelet was more recently determined to be this species. Given native range and patterns of vagrancy, could be expected to occur in the region from time to time. However poor coverage of the coastal waters and this species' similarity to the abundant Marbled Murrelet make detection unlikely if/when it does occur.
