Observation details
2 birds, male and a young female, followed our southbound cruise ship for approx 2 hours the morning of 4/18/17. First seen from 10 miles E of Frying Pan Light. Great up close views of the yellowish feet, contrasting dark head with clean white underside of the male. The juvie female was notably duskier underneath and lacked the distinct dark brown to white coloration. Naturalist aboard had never seen one circle the boat for such a long period. Pics attached.
