This is from Heidi Olson, who had a problem posting to Eaglechat.

> On Saturday, we went out and did our monthly beach survey for University of Washington COASST. We have been surveying Boy Scout Beach for about 3 years. We found a deceased adult BAEA. It was fully intact with head, beak, wings, and feet with a decimated body cavity. No signs of oil or entanglement. It found near the high tide water mark for the previous high tide (just a guess). The wing span was 60 cm, bill 65 mm and tarsus 110 mm. We tagged it with 2 orange plastic ties on its right foot which is our COAAST numbering code. No other tags were found.
