? Dark phase - To me appeared to have
white line, somewhat mottled underwing.
Tips of wings showed lighter due to molt.
Otherwise all dark 14-15 inches emphasis
on 14th.
Fair loose wing beat, not very hurried,
flashed from water, underwing similar
as previous Herald's P. as was flight character
and size - didn't land very steeply
Seen by George: white underparts, dark uppers-
wedge-tail edged
