Observation details
Exact count as they passed the pier, all moving northbound. Most were individuals but there were several groups of 2-3 moving as well. All showed chocolate brown plumage across the entirety of the body except the thin white sliver running up the center of the underwings. Extremely long-winged proportionally compared to the length of the head to tail, long narrow bill. Continuing mega-movement of this species through near-shore waters brought on by 7 straight days of 20 knot NE winds.
