Media notes
With fish in mouth, struggling to swallow it
Observation details
Continuing in the northwest cove by Perkins St. Observed it continually diving, and saw it catch a small fish that it surprisingly took about a minute to swallow. Bright white malar area stood out on overcast day. The bright white malar area turns to diffuse smudgy white on the rest of the cheek. Also noted dark gray back, white chest, dark brownish neck, darker cap, and red eye. Bill appears sharper and more pointed to my eye than Horned Grebe. Seen very close to shore a few times, if it was sunny out I very well may have been able to see it under the water.
