Observation details
Debbie yelled at me to “get on this bird” and as I turned left I made out a large greyish bird make a long large flap as it went into a glide dropping down closer to the river heading south. Bird was more or less in line with us when Debbie spotted it. Immediately my head went to booby/gannet and went for my camera over binoculars for a record shot. I managed a couple shots as the bird continued south low over the river. Photos show a dark underwing, long large body with pointy wings, with white band along the upper tail, and greyish head. Didn’t appear dark enough overall for a booby. Will get photos on computer later, but posting back of camera shots for now
