Media notes
Unidentified loon sp. offshore from the Santa Barbara Cemetery
Observation details
While scoping out into the ocean from the west edge of the cemetery bluff I spotted a single loon offshore near to where the boats are moored. It showed a prominent white flank patch suggestive of Arctic Loon but this bird was too distant to identify with certainty. Windy conditions, poor lighting, and distance made this bird difficult to track in the waves as it moved east
