resighting
Seeing once more
Resighting is seeing something again, typically wildlife or astronomical objects that were previously observed and documented.
Birdwatchers report resightings of banded birds; astronomers confirm resightings of comets.
The term implies verification or continuation of earlier observations: The tagged whale's resighting off Monterey confirmed its migration route.
