Подробности наблюдения
**Incredibly rare; adult brought inland by Hurricane Sandy - Spotted at 2:20pm floating down the river. All white with small amount of yellow on head, photos and video taken. The bird floated downriver and then flew back up towards Marysville and then floated back downriver again and then flew back towards Marysville and went out of view. We arrived at West Fairview around 2:15pm and as SOON as we pulled in, birders had spotted an adult Northern Gannet floating down the river! This bird is usually only visible from shore on the coast, or by boat on the ocean! It looked quite out of place floating down the river in the middle of Harrisburg, while it preened its feathers amongst hoards of Tree Swallows. This bird represented the 7th state record for its species! As it floated downstream a little ways, it would fly back north, only to float past us again. Eventually a few Bald Eagles seemed to be interested in the gannet’s newly created niche on the river, and it headed farther north upriver and out of view. Who knows where it went!
