Observation details
Continuing from yesterday. With calm water, could judge the flanks better and could see a straight line between dark and white separating the upper/lower half. The bird can change from floating higher/lower sometimes showing a lot of white on the sides, but the line is straight and white doesn’t extend onto the rump. Elusive on the water but did get distant photos and audio. Chinstrap seems obvious in scope but is minimal to non-existent up close. Could be the same bird from a few weeks ago although it was notably absent from Narrag for at least a week before yesterday.
