Observation details
Exceptional sighting and an awesome way to start the morning! Spotted at daybreak off the northeast shore of the island, flying in low over the water with the rising sun at its back. Looped around at the mouth of the Bronx Kill, seemingly considering a landing but thinking better of it due to the extreme high tide. Turned back towards the east and started climbing. We watched its departure until distance and altitude rendered it invisible, as it presumably continued onwards in migratory flight. Long anticipated county bird for all present
