Detalles de la observación

This brant looks totally different than any typical brant I have ever seen. It raises the question it might be one of the rare brant that I have never seen before. It behaved strangely too. When I arrived early in the morning, I noticed a dark-colored brant alone near the tip of the Six Diamond section of the park. I was still close the parking lot. I thought it could be a Black Brant. 20 minutes later, a huge flock of brants (almost 200) landed near the dark one but there was no interaction at all with the large group. eventually, most of the brants left and this one stayed alone again. When I approached it from Six Diamond, I was able to come to within 20-30 feet and the bird didn't get scared like the other brants which flew away. Throughout all the time, the brant stayed in the same spot, not moving inches. After I went home, I reviewed my videos and I noticed that its right wing might be broken and that why it was not able to fly away. {After further reviewing the videos at home, I noticed a line rapping around the bird preventing it from flying or swimming away. You can notice the line extending from the tail end of the bird on the 3rd, 4th and 6th photos. Clearly, the bird needs rescuing.}
