Pacific Loon
Gavia pacifica
Approximately two feet long, a very narrow bird.
Almost impossible to tell from the Arctic Loon. Also note the black cap extends down into the eye.

As the sun moved across the sky the light and the color of the water would change.
I'll tell ya, this bird had its head under the water more than above the water.

I doubt if it could walk on dry land.
