Observation details
Excellent photos taken of an adult brown-morph that landed on the mast of the half-day fishing boat, Super Queen, out of Clearwater Beach/Pass. Capt. Eric Spaulding took the photos, Capt. Stan Czaplicki was the witness. The bird landed on the boat when approx. 7 1/2 miles offshore as the boat was heading in (east) back to port. The bird eventually flew off - due west - , but not until they were inside the Pass. Pinellas' 2nd-ever record ! The first was 30 Sep 1963.
