Texbirders, the Calcasieu River Pass is about 25 miles east of Jefferson
County. Jetty watches all along the Texas coast are warranted this weekend
(plus short distance boat trips into the nearshore Gulf if possible) seems
likely to turn up Texas's first Razorbill (and second alcid of any
species). There must have been a massive die-off of whatever Razorbills
feed on this winter.

LAbird,
Big kudos to Dave Patton for putting in the time and effort for doing his
jaeger surveys off Calcasieu Pass over the last couple winters. Boy did
this trip turn up a doozy! And a big congrats to Dan O'Malley for first
spotting the Razorbill. My set of photos doesn't quite stack up to Dave's,
but here's an album of the trip that includes pics of the Razorbill, the
California Gull, a couple red-pouched Brown Pelicans, and the pink dolphin.
Enjoy:
