Observation details
And weird duck season begins! A month early… Large, dark waterbird with dingy white underparts. NOT A CORMORANT. Thicker, shorter bill; dark collar; smaller than DCCO with a more streamlined body type. Wrong profile as it sat on water. Studied for several minutes on water; it then flew away generally north around 1835. Took an exceptionally long time for it to get off the water. Distinct legs/feet trailing behind in flight. Record shots to come.
