Observation details
Walking along the edge of the water foraging. Gray body and purple head. Two-tone bill. Photos. The bird was seen on the south and east edge of the lower portion of Little Storm Lake. I drove past and saw a small dark heron that I didn't recognize so I turned around and parked at the inlet and observed it across the highway through my spotting scope. I went home and grabbed telephoto lens.
