Observation details

Along the north side of Ballona Creek about 30 yds. west of the UCLA boat ramp. Standing on the water line intent on hunting and gently swaying. Quickly grabbed a crab and we watched the bird eat the crab. Confirmed with Sibley's in the field. Looks like first summer. Lacked spots.
