Observation details
5 found by Nolan Miller this morning. 3 continuing. All black beaks up to the eyes, straight line of black from eye to beak, greyish necks from being in the water, pure white bodies, and black feet. Stayed together on the western side of the lake, called for a few minutes when a kayak came too close to them. Right after, they ‘ran’ many feet across the top of the water working on getting altitude and then lifted off just before the land met the water on the northern side of the lake. I yelled ‘oh wow’ accidentally because I was so amazed watching this. They then circled low over the lake twice before heading east. Their wings made a sound I’ve never heard before. Huge birds. Very cool experience.
