The bird was observed and photographed by local vet and amateur bird
photographer, Gordie Ellmers. It was found on the Hudson at the Fort Miller
Hydro station off Harris Road this afternoon. There is a fishing access and
you can walk down and stand on part of the dam and look upriver. This is
where he saw the bird. It would fly upriver, feed as it floated down to the
dam, fly back upriver, etc. At times he couldn't take photos because it was
right underneath him.

Harris Road is off West River Road on the west side of the Hudson River,
north of Schuylerville. If travelling north, turn left (east) on Harris Rd.
off of West River Rd, follow the road around the left-hand 90 degree bend,
and just before the next left hand bend, there is a parkinglot on your right
for the hydro station and fishing access. Park in the lot and follow the
sign for the fishing access and look upriver from on top of the concrete
dam.

Can someone forward this post to the NY Birds list? Thanks!

Good luck to any who try for this bird!

The location in question.  Curiously enough, the author would have you  
turn left onto Harris Road, which would be west if you were  
northbound;  the parenthetical "east" is correct, and that's a right  
turn.
