Observation details
Continuing. I walked to the very end of the jetty and he was there off the end feeding with gulls and terns. Then when walking back, I saw him sitting on one of the granite blocks. Several other birders got it after I left — and several others had tuned back just a tad too soon. While feeding, I could see that it was larger than the many Black Terns, it had much longer, pointed wings, I could see brownish highlights under its wings, and I could catch the glimpse of its white cap.
