Razorbill and others



Howdy-
At the Triple S Pier in Atlantic Beach on Monday afternoon, I spotted a single 1st year Razorbill flying from West to East approx 100 yards from the end of the pier. The bird landed nearby, but I could never really get an exceptionally long look, since it seemed to spend most of its time underwater. In half an hour, no other Alcids were spotted. I also saw a large mixed flock of scoters (mostly blacks, but a few white-winged and surfs) of about 200 individuals. Many Red-throated Loons around, and a couple of Bonaparte's Gulls (no Little Gulls, though). Cold and windy out on the pier.
