Saw bird in question from 2 - 4 P.M. today  (Mar. 7). Well described by =
Arlene Ripley. Only additions -- in windy conditions with bird diving =
constantly -- believe there was some streaking on flanks. When visible =
the bird had slightly upturned bill which appeared to be longer and =
pointier than any thick-billed or imm. razorbill.  White face pattern =
was larger than we would expect in the above extending well into the =
neck. Only possible id problem, we feel, was bird appeared "blacker" =
than expected. Distance and conditions were problems. What a humbling =
and wonderful hobby (avocation).
