Observation details

Present for several days and seen by dozens of birders. Large dark waterbird with shape and physique of a Northern Gannet. All-brown plumage, though somewhat lighter on underparts. Long thick gray bill. Yellow-orange legs that almost looked translucent. Floating on water when I arrived. Took a couple of short flights, showing missing and/or partially grown feathers in wings. Later flew to its usual tree perch.
