KnotLisa Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Saw this one yesterday, 1/10 near Mashpee, Massachusetts. Not sure what it is, but I don't think it's a Razorbill. Ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeylenz Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The beak looks a lot like a razorbill. But the line behind the eye kind of looks like a common murre. So I'm leaning towards a razorbill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnotLisa Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Thanks everyone for all the input here! I got some feedback too that this was Dovekie. Being from PA I have zero experience with the Alcids, but I'm not seeing the thin bill of Common Murre here. Not sure if this other pic reinforces any of the 3 opinions. Thoughts? Thanks.

I don’t think this is a Dovekie, it’s too big, and lacks the white shoulder patches. Razorbill seems the best fit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnotLisa Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 Thanks everyone! This was a tough pic(s), but with your gentle guidance and some additional field guide and internet work, I'm going go with Razorbill for this on. Thanks again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
