["David Clark" <david.clark1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After reading Sue Heath's post of Bev Leeuwenberg's sighting of a Razorbill at 
the CBBT, I decided to try to go there and see it myself.  When I got to the 
Northampton Blvd. exist on I-64, however, it occurred to me that I forgot to 
bring my permission letter with me. So, I decided to forgo the Razorbill and 
the Red-necked Grebe and head on down to Back Bay for a brief look around.  I 
walked around the limited portion of the refuge that's not closed, picking up 
Orange-crowned Warbler, then went over to the beach and scanned for waterfowl.  
Lots of loons and scoters.   Then, only about 200 ft off the beach was a lone 
Razorbill swimming in the surf, giving excellent views. So, I lucked out on 
this one.  
By the way, the Nashville Warbler continues to hang around my yard.  It's now 
been here for just over 6 weeks.
