Observation details
Beautiful adult found earlier this afternoon by Nick Bonomo. Unmistakeable. Enormous brown bird with white head and massive pelican bill and pouch. Perched on breakwater with cormorants. Sitting down upon my arrival but stood up and walked around a little bit after a few minutes. Made a short flight further down on the breakwater and then around 3:05 it picked up and flew directly at us before banking and heading out over the sound to the southwest, out of sight. Amazing looks. State bird!!! One of my most wanted CT targets for ages too
