1230 9 B/?? during hazy
adult travelling -
Small brown all over - thought at first it was
a noddy but didn't stay with sooties and
soared on set wings above waves
Tern species? Thought at first was baird
type but flying with steady flaps along
surface of water. Originally under sooties
headed S in same direction as Bulwer's?
Sure only that it was small, was gray
above, white below, and had a lot of white
around the head?
all adult 1315 9 BFA, mostly travelling a
few feeding.
