Field Notes

Description:

Identified by the crest on its head. Another bird a friend sent me photos of that got stranded from strong winds. I was told a couple of them landed in the boat. This one was a little hurt, but after some rest on the deck it took off. First spotting of this species on Project Noah

Habitat:

Offshore, open ocean.
