Observation details
First year bird soaring up from Johnson Creek. Drifted west, up the Creek. Please see photos, below. Bird seen in binoculars and with spotting scope. Note long bill; long, light tan neck; long, narrow wings; paddle-shaped tall. Third photo shows some lightness on upper wing surfaces, indicating young bird. Binocular and scope views revealed little or no silvery color on top of wings, re-enforcing the sub-adult age estimate.
