Observation details
Unreal salvage off NE tip of Isla Cozumel - a quick entry into port side cabin room to collect an item before dinner revealed this bird gliding just off balcony. Watched bird for approximately 15 minutes. Adult in pristine plumage. Bright white sulid with sharp two-toned appearance. Black tail. Black remiges. Black face contrasting with white head. Pale greenish yellow bill. Pale iris. Brief photo series of the bird plunge diving shows that it was stooping on schools of flying fish.
