The Razorbill incursion has passed Florida's Atlantic coast in the 100s,
gone around the south tip of Florida, proceeded north up the Gulf Coast
of Florida and now has reached Pensacola. Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana are the next frontiers. There were formerly 17 records of
Razorbill in Florida; 400 have been reported by some observers on one boat
trip and there are stunning photos of lines of a flock of >25 passing by
in
front of condos on Miami Beach! Also one Thick-billed Murre. The RAZO
specimens are piling up (about 15 at last count). Countless more are
coming
no doubt. I guess Hurricane Sandy wrecked foraging habitat in their usual
wintering range off New England, New York, and Jersey.
