Observation details
Continued rare bird blown in to Hawaii. Slender young bird with dark red medium bill, yellow at gape and bold white line from under eye to nape. Overall dark sooty grey with faint scale pattern, dark feet. Wind worn tail and primaries missing. Tertials very roughObservation that bird stays hidden while humans fling themselves into the water. After they leave he reappears and seems very calm and comfortable with fishermen. Observed in flight over water with slight tilting, purposeful low head plunge into water followed by bathing. Sat comfortably on water with wings folded. Found something to eat and returned in flight with mouth and neck full.
