Long-billed Murrelet — Lake Nockamixon, Bucks County; December 14, 2007. Photos by Jason Horn. This bird was found and first photographed by Jason Horn. It was seen by many happy birders until dark. Note the white scapular bar, the white on the vent, the length of the bill and, especially, the lack of a white collar on the dark nape that help distinguish it from Marbled Murrelet. This bird represents the 1st documented record for Pennsylvania!
This flight photo was also taken by Jason Horn. Note the mostly dark underwings and no hint of any type of a collar.
