It's worth taking the time to check carefully on, against and around every seaweed covered rock for this bird. When we saw it a few weeks ago, Penny Solum picked it out as it floated in the water in front of a rock. It was amazing how camouflaged the bird was against the rocks.

I walked all the way out that trail on Thursday 10/1 and did not see the bird despite keeping an eye out for it.
