Observation details

Photo. Seen diving by two sailboats in the second row of boats west of the courthouse at the private marina. Seeing this duck requires patience and a lot of luck, as it tends to hide among the boats in the marina. I saw nothing for the first 10 minutes looking in this area, then it swam out from under the floating walkway, then dove back under the walkway and popped up near the back of the smaller of two sailboats and began swimming towards the larger sailboat. I managed just this one photo before it disappeared behind the larger of the two sailboats moored slightly to the right of the steep walkway leading down to the locked gate to the private marina. For over 30 minutes I watched the group of boats where the duck disappeared and it stayed hidden from view so I finally gave up and left.
