Observation details
Both adults in full alternate!!! So cool. Spotted the first one sitting on the water off the point and was watching it for >30min when a second bird flew by with a group of cagu! Some of my better looks at alternate sagu, a spectacular and unmistakable bird. At one point there were black swifts, alternate sabines, colo, bwte and hogr currently in view with ybch, grca and lazb singing 😍😍😍 such an incredible mix of birds to be seen together. Amazing experience. Watched for at least an hour. The first bird swam west slowly through the morning and I last saw it on the water next to the second bird at 10:30am. At least the second bird passed into Douglas Co, not certain about the first. In the words of Adrian Hinkle, “that’s snazzy af!”
