Observation details
Large white bird, black wing feathers, dark, baldish head with large pale bill. Originally seen from the fishing pier, bird was circling over the shoreline by the marina east of Causeway Bridge. I followed the bird while I was on foot and it landed at the entrance to Sunset Point on the road. I was able to observe and photograph for a few more minutes until a car drove up and scared it away. It flew over the small inlet to the east of the park and disappeared low into the small stretch of swamp.
