Just for the exercise, and not having any idea of its size, I'm going to
venture it's a loon. Something about the head makes me think it's a Pacific
Loon, so I'll say it's an adult nonbreeding Pacific Loon. I look forward to
further replies!

Subject: [Tweeters] another mystery bird photographed in Port Townsend - can
you help identify?

Thanks to all of you who helped identify the previous bird, which turned
out to be an immature pigeon guillemot with plumage that did not
match the Sibley illustrations.

Here is another mystery bird:

Please click on "view largest photo" or "download largest photo" to get
closer to original size and to see detail of the bird flying in
Admiralty Inlet. I am unable to match it with anything in Sibley or
Peterson.

Thanks,
