I am no expert, but it sounds like a winter Black Guillemot to me. Here are 2 pictures of one that I took in Cape Porpoise on 12-31-15.

Just in from Dyer's Point, C.E. Usual suspects: eider, long-tailed duck but nice looks at harlequins and purple sandpipers on the rocks. Razorbill as well. One id question: I had what looked like a black guillemot except it was light slate gray with white wing/shoulders, white underneath when it spread its wings briefly, short bill, pointed tail held up. Eye was black against gray face. Is this just a winter or immature bird? Thanks.--
