Observation details
Impressive numbers all over the bay side. Several thousand gathered on the Short Beach sandbar on the falling tide, producing delightful ambience with their braying vocalizations. Additional flocks were scattered across the shores of the bay islands, and distant hordes were seen flushing in response to far-off gunshots. No Black, Gray-bellied, or Dark-bellied birds detected despite extensive intentional scanning, but I did pick out an individual with aberrant white patches on the face, making it look like the world’s tallest Harlequin Duck when only its head and neck were visible within the throng
