User's notes

The bird was initially sighted flying at high level some distance out over the bay. It turned abruptly and dived towards the shore before passing in front of passage markers as it tried and failed to capture prey from just below the surface. The bird turned abruptly and on a second pass caught what appeared to be a small squid, as shown in following sighting 4555626. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.
