Today's Niagars Gazette had an article that this saltwater / marine bird was still present in the Niagara River and I found this on the web:

"November 19, the joint BOS and GOS field trip to the Niagara   River
began with an outstanding rarity - a RAZORBILL, on   Lake Ontario at
the mouth of the Niagara River in Porter.   First observed from inside
Fort Niagara, where there is an   admission fee. The most recent report
was the afternoon of   the 22nd. The RAZORBILL has also been seen from
the Ontario   shore of the river, from the golf course in
Niagara-on-the- Lake. The bird may also be visible from the overlook parking   lot
east Fort Niagara. The region's two previous RAZORBILL   records were
also at the mouth of the river, in November   1982 and January 1985."
