Greetings,
A beautiful calm day off Cape Lookout today. We counted more than 40
razorbills south of Bogue Banks this morning, all between 8 and 13 nm
offshore (in depths of 60-80 feet). Generally sitting on the water in
groups of 2-4, most of them associated with small flocks of
Bonaparte's gulls. Sea surface temperature was 9 degrees C.
