This Gull would put it's head under water and then shake it, when I came back 3 hours later it was in the same spot, doing the same thing.
Not what I would consider a Sea bird, but there were a bunch of them eating on fish remains.

?/?, ???: Starling, juvenile moulting to adult winter.
?/?/?/?, /?: Great Blue Heron, immature.
Egret: Great Egret.
Cresent City,Ca: Western Gull, year-old (first summer moulting to second-winter) immatures.

Another scabby horror?: Yes!! First-summer Glaucous-winged Gull (compare the pic in Sibley's Bird Guide, p. 221, almost identical!)
Resin
Thanks again Resin. I thought that one might be an immature starling, but I thought they were always in a flock and this one was the only one I saw in the area.
