3rd cycle
Observation details
*Rare. Tentative ID, but certainly a very convincing bird. Apparent 3rd cycle. Spotted by B. Nikula while driving east of the parking lot. Gray mantle and retained tail. Short, yellow bill slightly slimmer than surrounding HERG; dark iris; light smudgy head streaking; very dark primaries with large white apical spots. Slightly smaller overall than HERG with a rounder head and deeper pink legs. In flight showed dark outer webs to p10-p7 with a dark sub-terminal band on p6. Poor photos will be added (on beach and in flight) but B. Nikula and P. Flood have better.
