Observation details

My friend from the other day made a brief but electrifying reappearance off the West side with BOGU. Keith spoke it into existence, saying the movement that day might entice the BHGU to join. I spotted it first and yelled "BLACK-HEADED" - Keith, Mike St Pierre, and Cherise were all there to see it well. Richard Carr missed it by milliseconds. Cherise got good photos. Similar to BOGU but ever-so-slightly larger with obvious black primary flashes on underwing.
