Although this photo doesn't show the distinctive bill, it does show the long, pointed wings and the notched tail.

Hurricane Fran was most likely responsible for this adult bird leaving the coast.
This bird represents the 1st record for Centre County and one of less than 20 for the state of Pennsylvania.
