This afternoon between 3:00 and 4:30, about a dozen people were greatly entertained by what I assume is the same mated pair from last year? They were both so cooperative and after a time moved from way over in the Euchs nearer the beach to right across the lagoon from us. The male flying directly over, and then to the back of lagoon to fish. Although I didn't see him, he did procure dinner, which he appeared unwilling to share with the begging female and flew off with what looked like part of a large fish.
If I'm remembering correctly, last year folks reported that what at first was just identified as a juvenile, turned out to be his new young mate. Today it was easy to see the full white head and tail of the adult male, while the female still had some brown streaks on the back of her head and very tip of her tail.
A love-ly ending to the second day of the GBBcount! Great birding everyone, Cindy
