Observation details
First record for the lagoon, remarkably. Shortly after I arrived I heard a series of short, hard flight notes and watched two plop down near the far side of the floating bridge. I immediately started walking over, and looked away only briefly, but somehow they had already taken off and disappeared. About an hour later, a flock of 18 flew rapidly past me as I stood on the east bank, giving the same calls. I got some quick documentary shots as they flew off to the east -- see photos.
