Observation details
The poor thing looked exhausted from fighting the heavy winds that have hit the island for the past several days. It was resting near the shore on its own. It would lift its head once in a while to look around its surroundings but quickly fall back asleep. The head has a very define separation of the brown face from the white throat. I was able to approach within 10 feet of the bird without the it being disturbed. I took several quick pictures and left it be. Edit: I have changed it from a Manx to a Great after a suggestion from local birder Elliot after talking to the lovely birder Tibbett Speer. I have added more pictures for more evidence on the bird. Thanks for everyone for the help!
