Razorbills and Little Gulls at Atlantic Beach, NC



Spent an hour and a half watching the ocean at Triple Ess Pier this
morning.

Very nice--constant stream of northbound birds.

Counted 24 Razorbills during the period.  A handful of these were on the
water; the rest were migrating up the coast.  Most of these were flying
alone or in 2's.  Three were mixed in scoter flocks--one was actually
leading the scoter flock.  One migrating Razorbill was following a
Red-throated Loon.

Constant stream of Bonaparte's Gulls moving by (with many in feeding
flocks).  Counted four Little Gulls--all were adults.  No Ross' Gull.

Several strings of scoters--virtually all Blacks, but a few Surfs.  Also
some scaup and Green-winged Teals.
