Observation details
Breeding plumage. The bird was swimming on the surface of the water, occasionally grabbing insects with its bill from near the water’s surface. Based on the coloration and the substantial amount of black around the base of the bill and on top of the head, this is a female. A small band of rain passed through the area about an hour or two before I came across the bird, which is likely what brought it down. It left after around 10 minutes and flew east.
