Observation details
Stakeout. Seen ~0.25 mi from bridge over San Juan Cr channel as close as 75 ft. Guy McCaskie, Pete Ginsburg, and many local birders studied it for ~2 hours as it leisurely moved up and down channel. We also noted near vertical takeoffs and undulating flight. It gave one single and than a doubled call note as it flew over the bridge. Sketch in notes. (Doc: CBRC 1996-164. Originally Black-backed Wagtail before lumping.)
