Observation details
Drake, present off the west end of the Raptor Trail looking south into the strong winds. This doesn't appear, to me at least, to be the same individual that has been continuing between this specific location and the Kuralt Trail since the Back Bay CBC, 31 Dec 2024. Much cleaner plumage on this bird, with more color in the head, more clean gray on the flanks. Unless the other bird (see: https://ebird.org/checklist/S212461920) has molted in a complete set of new feathers over the last week or two, this must be a new bird. Photographed.
