Observation details
Seen at the lower lagoon in the African Outpost at about 12:45 PM from this vantage point, (33.0985897, -116.9992571). The bird behaved like a tern circling over the lagoon, then swooping down toward the water and actually landing in the water. Having appeared to catch food,, it then floated on the water half submerged, wings out, before resuming flight. A few seconds later the bird flew behind some trees to our immediate left. We moved to try to get a better view but were unable to relocate. Photos are taken by Kris and Geoff with the first five by Geoff and the last three by Kris.
