Black-headed Gulls and Razorbills

These 2 rare Black-headed Gulls, seen on Jan 27, are being seen regularly near Little Creek, in Norfolk, usually at low tide, often in the company of the similar, slightly smaller Bonaparte's Gulls. A little farther south on the coast, at Little Island Park and Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge in VA Beach, Razorbills, another rare species, are being seen, mostly in early morning and often streaming by rapidly, low on the waves, in groups of 5-20, among thousands of Red-throated Loons and Northern Gannets...194 were counted on Jan 27 at the 2 sites.
