Media notes
typical GWGL on left, note contrasting darkness of primary projections on right bird compared to left bird; same birds as in ML 137806061
Observation details
estimate, no detailed count; note the variation in the darkness of the projecting primaries in the accompanying photos suggesting hybridization on the right bird; however, note the same birds photographed seconds later at a slightly different angle showing one bird with more enhanced darkening than in the 1st photo; for this observer these photos highlight the challenge of judging greys and blacks in both living and photographed birds in the GWGL-WEGL complex; several GWGU bathing in freshwater with many MEGU where a small stream enters the lagoon at Royal Roads
