The bird was still there 9:20 - 9:50 this morning, napping with the raft of Ruddy Ducks a couple hundred yards out. The fog had rolled back, but the rain was a challenge. The south side of the pier was calm so the bird wasn't bobbing in and out of view in the chop. The road between the softball diamond and the foot of the pier proper is submerged and impassible, as Alan said. Park at the shopping center and hoof it out past the condos.
