Observasjonsdetaljer
Circling over Lake Okeechobee bajo (below the dairy sheds), and then flew east towards the Yeguare River. Perhaps a fly over, migrating to its breedings grounds to the north, but it was still in juvenal plumage (first cycle) so surely not a breeding bird this year. It was a kite-sized gull, with broad white tail with a thin dark terminal band. Shape similar to a kite (long thin, pointed wings) but tail shorter and broader than a kite. Wings and back were gray brown, darker on the primaries. Underparts white or whitish. Head dusky with apparently a white face. Bill fairly long (much longer than a raptor), heavy and appeared black in the photos.
