Upon arrival bird was actively diving and feeding upstream from the bridge. After about 10 minutes it was drying out with wings spread on a log. Then it took off and flew toward the Harbor.
Identifing features were the dark lores and the very sharply angled gape. The tail was long, but still a bit ratty."
