Observation details
Tony and I saw two adults flying south (though only Tony saw them in time to notice their orange feet) around 11:00 AM, otherwise identified by two-toned black-and-white plumage and large size. About a half hour later, we saw an immature bird swimming somewhat closer in, with obvious black upperparts, white underparts up to the chest, and, in particular, a faint grayish white face pattern and a fairly large orangish bill. Terrible digiscoped photo.
