Observation details
Continuing. Showed up around 9:30am just off shore from the jetty between lifeguard stations 2C and 3C. Landed on the beach near the jetty and preened for the remainder of the time we were there. A dusky, streaky nape and crown with more streaks around the eye. The bird showed a thin red orbital ring, a thin line of red in the gape and what seemed like rather a large red gonydial spot. The eye was clearly off-white or yellowish. Mantle color was a dark, slaty gray, rather than black. The yellow legs were unmistakable.
