You have collected a very rare specimen there of Herrus Wildlificus Photographus. There have been sporadic sightings in various National Park areas over the years and unconfirmed reports of a colony in California. These may be identified by their distinctive snowy white plumage under the beak and are one of the few Avian species known to use tools in pursuit of their prey including black sticks. These are levelled at the prey animal in some ritual not yet understood by ornithologists.
