cljones16 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hello Whatbirders, The pictures below were taken last month, January 14th, off the coast of Massachusetts near Gloucester. I can tell it's an alcid, but I'm having trouble narrowing it down further. The markings might indicate razorbill, but I just don't see the characteristic bill shape of a razorbill in these photos. The white on its neck does seem to come up behind its eye. Could it be a murre? If so, the bill seems thicker than a Common's would be and there's no white and black streaks on the flanks. But a Thick-billed would not have the white behind it's cheek, correct? Thanks for any help with the ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
