Observation details
My first shore-based sighting of this species under non-hurricane/tropical storm conditions. Flying over the dunes battling the 20-25 mph ESE winds, sometimes drifting inland over residences (I actually first saw the bird while walking my dog on a street paralleling the beach). The bird was still soaring over the dunes slowly heading north when I left the beach. Photos:
