Observation details
Large dark brown and white bird with super long angular wings with sharply pointed tail and bill; a bird clearly built for the ocean. Birders pointed me to its rooftop perch when I arrived, and it subsequently flew around and landed back on an apartment building west of the pond. I watched it hunt in the pond for about an hour, making crazy, low-angled dives with wings held back to catch small fish. More birders we’re on it when I left. Continuing from Jim McCullough.
