Observation details
Continuing bird. I went looking for this guy, and as I was about to leave, somewhat disappointed, he suddenly appeared. He was sitting in the water just off the north corner of the parking lot, near the wood footbridge. He was foraging and finding all kinds of little fish to swallow, prancing all around. I watched him for nearly 30 minutes, until he flew off, into the depths of the bay and I lost sight of him. White coloring on his wings and neck. He was much smaller than I thought, as I had previously only seen him much further out in the bay. His bill was very long (black top, yellow bottom), and he also had a white chest/stomach. I will add a photo for confirmation.
