Observation details

1 adult accompanied by 1 begging juvenile on "Island D." Rare hybrid combo yet apparently established here in the Lake Champlain Basin and clearly reproducing on the Four Brothers. Bird took to a brief flight and circled my kayak before returning to its begging offspring. Photos.
