Observation details
Found by David Larsen. First observed briefly from the Belmar side, but then seen at very close range on Avon beach near the jetty cove. Stunning individual with beautiful black and white pattern on wings and bright red feet. I watched the bird dive many times very close to shore (5-10 feet away at times), then move out to preen, and it continued this behavior for a couple hours. Saw it underwater as it negotiated the waves which was very cool. Eventually there were many observers. Photos to be added.
