Observation details
Bob found and identified this bird offshore, about a half mile+ south of the marina entrance. Calm seas and good light for photos; the bird was lethargic, floating and drifting, never flew. Wings were occasionally fluffed, revealing white on the visible sides of the rump and the shape of the tail. A most distinct shape / silhouette. Guy McCaskie arrived and observed the bird. concurring with Bob's identification. This is the second record for Riverside County; the first one was in the summer of 1984 at the Whitewater River mouth.
