Observation details
Continuing; Marcia Lyons alerted us to this molting bird around 11am; 0.2 mi down from bird enclosure from ORV sign (toward the Point); sitting on wrack line then flew to a weed line on the ocean and fed; lots of tourist walking here but didn’t flush when one person walked by while we were watching; tide high and still coming in; low tide might be a good time to recheck wrack line; pics to be added; did not see bird on Return trip from the Point but water was coming up to where it had been resting; not sure if you can accurately sex these birds until full molt, I've no experience
