Observation details
I was walking south from the Bridge to the Beach when a bird that I had never seen before flew past. It circled around then passed again before landing not too far from the bridge. I had to backtrack to look for it, but it flew before I could get a decent shot. I saw it disappear to the south, so I started heading that way. It was a close call with the tides, and I had to climb over a couple rocks to reach the South Beach. Fortunately, the tide was heading out. I managed to relocate it just to have it fly again. Since it seemed a little skittish, I tried to stay high up on the beach. When I was passing it, I went overboard on pictures. Of course, I'm not going to upload all of them.
