Observation details
It was resting on the beach about 20 feet away from the gull group. I inched closer and it did not move. I considered the possibility of injury or illness because I could approach fairly close without disturbing it. Eventually beach walkers disturbed the whole group but all the gulls resettled quickly except for the kittiwake. It flew up and out over the bay and began climbing in circles. I watched it for many minutes as it circled higher, so high that it became only a speck in the high altitude above the bay, eventually out of sight.
