Field Notes

Description:

A medium sized bird with a bluish back and head, white collar and chest, and black wingtips. The bill is long and powerful looking. It was a cold day, so this one is pretty fluffed up. I got to see it diving for fish, but didn't get any pictures of that.

Habitat:

near water
