Hi BJ,
In the same spot as you noted per your map, there was an alternate plumaged Pacific Loon swimming close to shore near the breakwater. Seen around 5:45pm this evening. Here is an eBird checklist with my photos of the loon.https://ebird.org/checklist/S168501450 Cheers!Malia DeFelice

Apologies for the poor quality of the images, but we just happened to see this in passing. I didn't have my binoculars or a camera other than my iPhone 12 mini. These were taken at Pillar Point Inner Harbor, along the road to the boat launch. I've included a photo of where we saw the bird around 4:30pm today (Saturday April 13). We couldn't tell what it was but the markings seemed quite distinct from the usual black-and-white birds (loons, scoters, goldeneyes, buffleheads) we see there. Maybe someone else has seen it or will see it?
