   Details

   Male flew in across Union Bay from south around 21:10 PDT, turned east over Main Pond area, and then turned back over Union Bay, circling a few times before disappearing towards east presumably flying into the main body of Lake Washington. While over Union Bay, it did land on water once, staying for only about 5-10 seconds before flying again. When first seen, I noticed the small size and compact shape and white vertical line on side of breast, then saw white crescent on face. When it flew back over Union Bay, I was able to see dark rufous on flanks.
