Observation details
extended scope views of bird while perched on rocky point with relatively tiny Kittiwake; facing away from observers but still allowed close scrutiny: overall rather bulky, wide-seeming tail, thick neck all suggestive of a large cormorant; at base but below bill a small patch of yellow, then a small patch of white; the bill itself was large and rather thick with no yellow whatsoever; bill color was uniformly a pale bluish-gray; presently bird swam across lake, then perched on rock finally facing the observers; the dark brownish throat and upper breast were in clear contrast with the decidedly white belly.
