Observation details
Adult perched on rock breakwater at mouth of Housatonic River, found about 1:45 by boating birder Nick Bonomo. He offered to pick me up at BirdsEye boat ramp and shuttle me out to see it. Large, heavy-bodied gray-brown bird with long neck, massive bill, dark brown neck with bold white stripe up sides becoming a white head. We motored towards it, but kept a safe distance, so as not to flush it…knowing others were hoping to scope it from shore. Photos. Thanks Nick!
