Observation details
**rare, continuing for about one week here. An obvious winter-plumaged loon, gray throughout with darker back peppered with white spots. About the size of nearby Western Grebes, if not a bit heavier bodied. Bill was small and thin for a loon and the angle was always pointed about 30 degrees above horizontal. Plain faced with muted, but obvious demarcation between gray upper and white lower neck. In short, an obvious Red-throated Loon. Any thoughts of this bird being anything but are misguided.
