Thick-billed Murres (Uria lomvia) have been recorded wintering as far south as Vancouver Island, British Columbia (AOU Check-list, 1957) and have been found off the central and southern California coast (see Yadon, Calif. Birds 1:107-110, 1970, for records up to 1970 and DeSante and Remsen, Am. Birds 27:110-119, 656-662, 1973, for more recent records). They have not, however, been reported from either Washington or Oregon.
