Observation details

🟠 Presumably one of the two birds found by Shelley Seidman earlier today here. Both flew south but then one was reported by Josh Ketry to be flying back north. I decided to come and check here hoping to catch it flying out over the lake. Luckily and to my surprise, I quickly found it standing on the sandbar at Horseshoe Reef. Massive white bird with orange legs and large yellow bill. Distant photos.
