Hello,
I was birding at Antonelli Pond with friends yesterday afternoon, and we saw a “duck-size” black bird with red legs flying low over the water. We’ve ruled out Black Oystercatcher, as I think their legs are not red. Feet poked out from tail and were firmly a saturated red color.
Could it have been a pigeon guillemot? I didn’t notice white markings on the wings, but it was flapping quickly and I didn’t get my binoculars up in time.
