Observation details

Found by Jon Ruddy on October 26. Very active bird, not staying in one spot for long. We first had it on the lake from Fraught Road between Cornerview Road and Eldon Road. Flew west and landed on the water where it was briefly visible from the boat launch at Cornerview and Fraught. Flew west and landed in the parking lot of the Ottawa Valley Pentecostal Camp, then landed on the beach at the camp where it gave us point blank views before flying east where it seemed to touch down near where we first had it. Head shape reminiscent of SAGU; more gently sloped forehead than RBGU with less forecrown protrubence. Versus first cycle RBGU: Slighter bill less distinctly bicoloured, more brownish overall, less white/dark contrast on upper- and underwing, darker rump, uniform brown face, and all dark tail.
