Observation details
After seeing one from afar on a previous visit, this bird flew right by the observation platform. Distinguished it from a gull immediately by its large size, long neck, piscivorous bill, and tan mantle (which is visible in the garbage photo). Size and behavior ruled out Brant, and coloration and wing size ruled out DCCO. Observed diving at the water for fish before flying out of sight along the channel.
