Observation details
First documented record for Luzerne County. I found this bird around 7:30 AM resting on Harveys Lake in the early morning after Hurricane Sandy. Large chunky gull-sized bird with stout hooked bill, dark cap extend into malar region, tail tips not long and spiked, but blunt and spatulate shaped. I immediately notified other birders who were able to observe and photograph.
