Yesterday at 6:45 p.m. Wally noticed unusual activity not very far from shore in Englishman's Bay, off Cow Point (Roque Bluffs). He set up the 'scope upstairs where we had a bird's-eye view of a group of 17 Razorbills along with 4 Common Eider and a Black Backed Gull. The Alcids passed in a line, stopping to submerge and then regroup in formation every so often along the way, they went past two Common Loons and were soon followed by three black harbor porpoise (not sure what the official name is for these, we don't see them very often). There must have been an interesting fish event happening in the direction of Roque Bluffs State Park. We were still too far for a decent photo of the birds. Wally based the ID on thick bill shape and distribution of white at water-line.
