    Details

    Adult bird spotted on south jetty. At first we thought we were seeing the same bird reported by Andrew & Rob until we realized theirs was younger bird with dark bill. Bird stayed for a sort time before flying north. I was not able to relocate it on the beach, so it must have continued flying. While sitting, the light feathers caught our attention, then we noted the yellow bill with orange dot. the bird was comparable in size to a LBBG. When the bird flew the white trailing edges were seen on the wings, no dark on primaries and plain white tail.
