Observation details
First observation at 0735. 1 counted on property. *Second-ever sighting here! Single, nonvocal individual swimming on one of the middle reach 3 ponds, using dead, flooded Alnus incana extensively for cover. Seen foraging, dipping its bill in the water frequently and occasionally coming up with a piece of aquatic vegetation. Also seen preening. Seemed very unconcerned about my presence as long as it was within the cover of the alders, letting me approach to about 15 meters away with no sign of alarm. Still on the same pond on my return. Detections (number 15-minute intervals in which the species was detected): 3 on property.
