Observation details

*flagged as rare* Around 10:50 or so saw three large birds soaring together pretty high in the sky, moving in unison kind of like AWPE kettles do. Got on them and concluded they were SACR with long necks sticking out and feet trailing, gray coloring to it, shorter bills so not Ibis/Stork/Anhinga, different shape from Heron/Egret. Thankfully they moved in the right direction and I was able to get a few pics of them, miraculously. Nice surprise. Tough bird to get at this sort of place.
