Observation details
Juvenile bird of the southwestern form with a tawny rump that was obvious when the bird dipped below the horizon. Dark cap with a light buffy throat and forehead that contrasted with the lighter belly and underparts. Tail not notched and back and upper wings gray. The bird was flying in a fairly tight area around the boat ramp from 1015 until 1100. It was easily seen during this time and we had several good views of the buffy rump and lightly tawny throat. The bird remained in view the entire time that we were at the reservoir and generally never was higher than 25-30 above the water and at times with 15 feet horizontally, so even despite the poor light, it showed its field marks fairly well when it was below the horizon.
