Observation details

a known bird that we chased, discovered the day before. I scoped the Gulf for 90 minutes before I found the bird about 1/4 mile to the north, swimming steadily south, at 1520. It took 30 minutes for the Razorbill to swim to the pier -- where we photographed it nearly point-blank -- which it then circled counterclockwise and continued swimming southward. It never dove while we were watching it.
