Observation details
From my photos, I believe two of the birds were juveniles. The third bird may have been a parent. I watched one of the juveniles try to fish for quite a while with not much luck, and even continued to dunk down into the water while flying only a few feet above several times. At one point it was completely submerged then flew off and searched for a sturdy tree to land in to shake off. It repeatedly landed into too flimsy tree tops had to keep trying again. There was constant calling by one or more birds the whole time I watched, which was for more than 30 minutes.
