Observation details
Originally reported on eBird on 12/20/2025 by Paul Lehman.Thanks to Paul for checking to see if it was still at the pier after reviewing a photo of unknown. birder, and putting the word out! Life bird! I saw a small alcid with dark gray upperside and white belly. Head has dark cap. Small bill. Unfortunately the only photo I was able to take does not show all the noted features. Very active with only brief photo opportunities before it would dive again. Photo.
