A Razonbill (Alca torda) being all cool and stuff 🐦🕺

Nikon Z8 NikonUSA

Nikon Nikkor 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens

Sachtler Flowtech 70 w/ Aktiv6 Fluid Head

Brief video (2:27) on the razorbill with some basic facts.

Video of them swimming underwater

They may look like penguin that can fly, but from a brief search, they are more closely related to puffins.

I would have likely thought it was fake if it wasn't from one of my regular owl photographers! The pinstriping on the face is so crazy and the angles just look so strange for the rest of it.

I'm always glad when I can surprise you guys with something like this.
