Norm and I also found the pair on Saturday afternoon. They were again in
the area by the bridge at the very beginning of the refuge.
They stayed fairly close to the shorelines in and around the
boat house and pier. At this point in time, there were no other
birds nearby.
We watched them for quite some time, looking for any
indication of escapee behavior. Although they appeared rather
tame, they did move away when too many humans appeared
on the horizon. The pair stayed together the entire time,
drifting here and there very contentedly. I looked specifically
for bands and clips, but could not see any on visible areas.
Regardless, they made a beautiful pair and we were very
pleased to see them so closely.
