I wonder if this might be the same bird seen by Erik yesterday on Turtle Lake. We saw this bird on Lake Gervais in Little Canada around 1:15 this afternoon. I'm afraid my photo attempts are not much better than Erik's, but I've posted what I got on Flickr:

I wish there had been a nearby duck or gull to get a better estimate of its size. | | | | I attempted to take some pictures by holding a digital camera up to my scope.
