Abstract
- This article cites a study which described the occurrence and behavior of Razorbills visiting Coats Island, Northern Hudson Bay. Researchers found no evidence that Razorbills actually bred. Researchers observed that Razorbills seem to have tracked the appearance of their usual prey so quickly. Observations by researchers support the idea that Razorbills may readily disperse over long distances and lead them to conclude that it will be hard for biologists to predict the range expansions that are likely to occur in the short term due to climate change.
