Observation details
I was able to find this bird almost immediately after we arrived, on the shore of a small cove across the water from us. A couple minutes later, the bird flew in a wide circle, eventually cruising directly over our heads about 30 feet up. It repeated this about four times, often landing on the water within 20-30 yards of where we were standing. Insane!
