It’s worth noting that a close look at the recent photographs taken of Common
Murre at Shinnecock suggest more than one individual was involved. Aside from
the photo evidence, it’s conceivable that several birds have been venturing
inshore given the abundance and quality of available food along
It would be worthwhile to know if it had been shot.

just hit:

so it appears that at least one COMMON MURRE there lives on.

Relevant to the COMMON MURRE not being seen at Shinnecock Inlet, Joe
Girgente today found and photographed a deceased COMMON MURRE to the west
of the inlet at Triton Beach and reported it on the Queens and Long Island

The Thick-billed Murre at Shinnecock Inlet was in sight from about 8:00 to
9:30 this morning and then again briefly just after 1:30. At least one
Razorbill was in the inlet in the morning, providing closer looks than the
Murre. To my knowledge, the Common Murre was not seen. 2 or 3 Red-necked
Greb
