Razorbill stock photo from Newfoundland

 

Subject: Razorbill, Alca torda

Location: Cape St. Mary's, Newfoundland

Stock Number: 08-20746

Comments: The Razorbill resembles the Common Murre, but is stockier and has a flat bill marked with a vertical white line. The Razorbill also has a couple of other jaunty white lines the Common Murre lacks.

The Razorbill is the closest living relative of the extinct species, the Great Auk.
