Подробности наблюдения
First parish record, found previously. Visible when I arrived and for most of the time I was there. Bird was mostly close to the road, but it spent time wandering most of the lake shore. A large long-legged, long-necked, and long-billed water bird. Mostly dark brown, but covered entirely in small white spots. Spots larger and sparser on back and wing coverts, smaller and denser on head and neck. Bill long and slightly down curved, mostly dark but with some pale yellowish color to base. Legs dark. It spent most of its time walking the lake shore, but I also saw it roosting in a cypress, and in flight on two occasions. Wings were long, broad, and entirely dark. On one occasion it swam between a cypress and the shore line, looking very awkward. It called once, giving three loud rising trumpeting notes, but I was unable to get a recording. Many photos and a short video obtained. It appeared to be feeding on mussels and apple snails, both of which were littering the shore line.
