Observation details

Found by Paul Fenwick, we saw it upon arriving. After watching it fly in pond 1 to several locations, it and another GWTE (American) flew over the dike into a pond in the slough where it stayed only shortly before flying with a larger group of GWTE to the far side of the channel. We scoped later and did not find any GWTE still at that location and it had not returned to pond 1 prior to leaving for the day. This bird clearly had a bold horizontal stripe along scapulars that could be seen from a distance.
