Well I had a great time today even though the weather man sucks as you can see we got mostly dark instead of mostly sunny but it was great meeting every one hope to see you in the field again.

I gotta get me to Barnegat one of these years.

That's an awesome pic, bad light makes it especially impressive. Very Cool

4 down, 2 to go.

Nice shot, James. It was a pleasure to freeze with you on the end of the jetty

I love the the bird. You did (as always) a good job in the poor weather. This is a reflection of your persistence to shoot daily....no matter what type of weather. Good job!

Jimmy,

If you took this merely sitting on the jetty, I'm jealous. If you took it from a boat, I'm jealous.

There just aren't very many good photos of winter-plumaged Razorbills (or of most any alcids for that matter).

Nice photo of this guy. This is a species I haven't seen very many photos of. Good job with the lighting too. I think if it had been sunny exposing this guy properly might have been a nightmare.
