Observation details
**rare; 3rd year in a row pulling one out around here. Initially spotted distantly at Hacker St but only watched for about 2min before kayaker flushed the whole flock to the far side of the bay. First noticed Brant facing away with the necklace wrapping almost all the way around the back of the neck. Eventually it turned showing contrasting flanks and darker sides. When it walked ashore for a short while the very dark sides and belly were very evident. Some very distant photos while landed also while it flight. If searching for this bird I would recommend checking Hacker St, New Bedford harbor seawall, and Fort Phoenix. Saw the birds move between these locations 3 times throughout the day.
