Observation details
Spotted by Josh Adams while the bird was in flight; Josh had said in his report that I noticed a dark tail; however, I did not. I did notice the white head and body and the very long, narrow blackish/brownish wings, the dark mantle, and the bowing of the wings in flight. Although my view of the bird through my scope showed more detail than my photos do, I hope you can make out, in these 2 photos, the dark upper wings and mantle, some white in the under wings, and the white head and body (fyi, in these photos the bird is flying to the right). I know these two photos are extremely poor. Just be grateful that I'm only sharing my best images. :) Great sighting, Josh!
