Observation details
Thanks to Gary W for getting us on this bird when we arrived after most of the first wave of observers had left. As people kept arriving, we then got to enjoy this bird with many other appreciative birders. Distant, but good scope views of a large white bird with black wings and a large orange bill. Larger than nearby gulls. Flew several times and able to see the distinctive booby profile; also plunge-dove several times--with the amazing speed of its straight vertical dive, even at this great distance it was awe-inspiring. photos, if you want to call them that.
