Great skua at Filey, North Yorkshire last week 22nd Sept. Missed the rarer birds that had been there the previous days so it was a bit of a consolation.

Great Skua
On a pelagic trip September 20, 2014 out of Bar Harbor, Maine, USA sponsored by Maine Audubon. Along with the Great Skua, other new birds were Atlantic Puffin and Wilson's Storm Petrel. I failed to photograph those, but a South Polar Skua put on a show for us. While not a life bird, it was a great state bird for Maine.
Photo of the South Polar Skua is attached.

Condor remains the one California specialty this native Californian (me) has yet to see in the wild. I've seen captive individuals at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, and I've had the chance to see wild birds at Pinnacles National Monument (now a National Park), but they were a no-show on the one morning I was there. Lucky you!
I've seen Island Scrub-Jay exactly once, eight years ago. Cool bird, even if it is just a slightly bigger, darker blue version of the mainland scrub-jay.
We were at the coast in Monterey Co when spotting three condors (first 1, then two more) in a kettle with Turkey Vultures. This was from the parking lot of a park called Andrew Molera SP.
We did have success with the island scrub jay. We also saw the island fox and on the journey over had fin whales!
