Observation details
A first year bird (with a brown colored back and wings) and a winter adult were hanging closely together on the bayside shoreline in the company of Royal Terns and Herring Gulls. From a distance, we could see the darker mantle and smaller size than their companions. At close range, the birds showed prominent eye arcs, sooty half hoods on the head, and alternating black and white remiges on the folded wings.
