This Razorbill photo was taken by Karen Kearney, during the boat trip to the Chesapeake Bay bridge-tunnel yesterday, sponsored by the Williamsburg Bird Club. It's hard to age distant and fast-flying Razorbills...and most reports seem to indicate young birds, but this shot clearly shows the bulging bill tip and white bill line of an adult.
The trip also recorded hundreds of Long-tailed Ducks and scoters, a rare male Harlequin Duck, at least 7 Red-necked Grebes and at least 10 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, among other species, despite 36 degree water temperature, which our captain said was extremely unusual.
