A visit to Sydney to see the T65As

June 22, 2017 – The T65A’s are our “resident” transients who we have been seeing a lot of lately. Sailing passed Mandarte Island cormorant rookery we met them south of Sydney Harbor. We watched them share a meal and enjoyed listening in on their private conversation.
