Observation details
Never before have I had to work quite so hard to photograph a bird! Dad spotted this one through the scope across the lagoon as we watched the Sharpies... I observed the feeding action to be most likely something very interesting, being of the typical "oil pump" style. We walked around the lagoon, and soon enough the bird was confirmed, despite various escapades involving quicksand! One of the most satisfying birds to date!
