Observation details
Went to check for previously reported COLO. Didn't see until heading back to the car. It was in the area east of Catfish Island. Initially saw a bird that "naked eye" did not fit the structure/build of any others for the day. Managed to get the scope on it briefly before diving, but it was long enough to confirm my suspicion. Continued to dive several more times, each of which resulted in the bird being in a completely different spot, making it hard to track. Was already running late, but wanted the picture for evidence as this is somewhat of an odd location for this species. Finally popped close enough to get 2, and only 2, poor but usable pictures before it dove again. This was the better of the 2 pictures.
