Judging by the relatively unworn condition of the plumage, this bird is probably best aged as a juvenile. The close view allowed the pink hue to the base of the lower mandible to be discerned. I waited 2 hours on uncomfortable rocks at Old Town for it to come close, with pounding high-tide surf in the background. My best-ever views - one of the highlights of the week for me!
