Observation details
Spectacular experience!! Continuing adult female found yesterday by Jim McCulloch. Perched on adjacent apartment buildings before eventually circling around and plunging repeatedly into pond at high velocity. Some point-blank views during this activity but didn’t see the bird catch anything large over several attempts. Sulid with brown uppers and breast; sharp demarcation to white belly and vent; whitish underwings with brown borders; yellow webbed feet; hefty fully ivory bill; a bit of navy in front of eyes. Enjoyed this beautiful visitor with several other birders.
