Observation details

Thank you Andy Bell. Bird was flying in spillway as we arrived. Made a few loops around inner spillway area and gave us enough time to see black collar and black upper wing and get a few photos then disappeared. As we were leaving it was sitting on Concrete wall in reservoir very near the dam and spillway itself. Base of bill is beginning to turn yellow.
