Observation details
Thanks to Jean, Barb and Jeremy for pointing me in the right direction to see these birds in a small flooded area just W of the gate at Mersey Rd and East Beach Rd. I managed a few photos of these birds as the sun was setting and could see they were grayish-brown overall with some patterning in their plumage. They had long heavy looking straight gray bills. I actually also recorded them as they started to group up and vocalize, stretching their wings showing of their distinctive black and white pattern. They appeared to be thinking about heading out and I heard later that they did in fact fly off about 30 mins after I saw them.
