Observation details
Loons are uncommon this time of year, but flight style, bill shape, and feet look more like a loon's than a cormorant's. Also note the white underbelly and long neck. Brown Booby is possible, too, but the flight style didn't support a booby. I believe this is a loon, but I could be wrong. I can't tell the species.
