@greene Thank you so much!
I googled and searched for Sea Birds, Southern California Sea Birds and San Diego Sea Birds and never found a match ... but my brain was foggy by the time we got home late Tuesday night and into Wednesday when I was sorting through my photos; I think I've finally adjusted back to the eastern time zone. I kept thinking, gee it sorta looks like a duck and lo and behold ... it's called a Sea Duck!
Going to label my photos right now. Thanks again!
