okay, chris, i want to call it a loon. but it probably wasn't. it was a black bird about the size of a goose. i couldn't see any markings, otherwise. beak was yellowish, and long. it sat low in the water, i couldn't see the body at first, only the neck and head above water. it had something in its beak, i think it ate it. then the head went down and the whole body disappeared.
after several seconds it came up, swam around a little. again, as before, the body was mostly underwater. finally it took off, and i realized it was the same bird i had seen in north dakota. it took off low to the water and stayed low as it swung a big arc and took off down the lake. just a couple of feet off the water.
sorry, that's all i have.
