Birdtober Day Nine: Razorbill

 

Photo Source: eBird.com


I watched a video of a Razorbill who went off course ten years ago and ended up in Florida. Before 2012, there were only 14 recorded sightings of Razorbills in Florida. That winter, there were flocks of more than a hundred seen.



Northern bird in southern clime:

Tropical vacation time! 

Razor sharp bill catching fish,

Batlike wings that flap and swish.

Swimmer sleek in black and white,

Enjoying holiday delight!
