If he has data this Razorbill may be in Texas waters.

Vladimir,
There would people interested if you got the coordinates and a photo of the 
Razorbill. I know it would be the western most report so far. Whether it is 
in Texas or Louisiana bird record waters, I do not know. Texas does not 
have a Razorbill yet.

Dear All,

I went on a diving trip to Flower Garden Banks Nat'l Marine Sanctuary

last weekend. It's outside state waters, but still might be of

interest to LA birders. The weather was rough and diving totally

sucked due to unusually poor visibility, but there were a few birds,

some of them unexpected:

1 American coot, floated near one of our buoys at Stetson Bank for at

least an hour, looking lost.

1 Razorbill, sitting on the water near East Bank, looking normal.

1 Northern gannet, flyby, at Stetson. It is not on the Sanctuary bird

list for some reason.

A dozen or so laughing gulls.

2 royal terns.

1 distant jaeger.

No tubenoses. A flock of small birds flew by; could be phalaropes, but

they were very far away in very poor light.

Also got Gervais' beaked whales and Clymene dolphins.
