Arctic birds turn up in South Florida

Thousands of miles from home, seabirds that normally hunt in the icy waters of the Arctic have shown up in South Florida. At least 10 razorbills, which favor the waters off Canada, New England and Iceland, have turned up here thin and out of energy during the past week, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. A razorbill was rescued Monday next to a lifeguard tower in Fort Lauderdale. Anyone who spots such a bird is asked to report it at MyFWC.com/Bird.
