Observation details

Immature found recently deceased. Photographed and reported the day before to the Bolivar Peninsula Facebook Page. Salvaged for specimen (TAMU College Station museum). Gps pin for location placed precisely where the bird was found. Largish sulid with white collar and primarily white underwing lining eliminates Northern Gannet. Record entered Feb. 10, 2023 by W. Egelhoff through this account to preserve the record (since no birders/ebirders observed this individual alive).
