Observation details
Spotted by Don Riepe. The bird dove once as the boat approached but once it surfaced it did not attempt to get away. The "close up" photo is not the best but it appears to show what could be fishing line towards the front lower part of its body on its left side (which may explain why this pelagic bird was found in this unlikely location). The wide angle photo shows the bird with the Marine Parkway Bridge to the west of it.
