Larry McCloskey, Carlyle Manous, and I saw the bird this afternoon (about
1:30) along with several others. The bird flew around for about 15
minutes catching fish, then sat in the water and floated downstream. It
may be roosting on a small island between the dam and the bridge (Hwy
395).

Beautiful bird! I was surprised by the extremely distinctive
rose-colored belly; I was expecting it to be fainter.
