I had a nice side view of the bird at fairly close range. It's two months earlier than the one I found last year at this location. The more complex plumage is stunning. Other birds seen include GREATER SCAUP, RUDDY DUCKS, PIED BILLED GREBES, DOUBLE CRESTED CORMORANTS, GREEN HERON, SNOWY EGRET, BELTED KINGFISHER, SONG SPARROWS, COMMON YELLOWTHROATS AND MANY YELLOW RUMPED WARBLERS.
