Observation details
continuing rarity found yesterday. swimming and diving around the pier and entrance to marina while being very cooperative, allowing an excellent opportunity to study this rare species! Intermediate-sized basic-plumaged loon; bulging forehead & puffy nape imparting a rounded head appearance; very black above and very white below; charcoal gray head and nape with relatively sharp contrast with white throat; very distinct dark chin-strap; fine black and white striations along the sides of the chest; thinner-than-COLO type bill held straight on and not snobby like RTLO; red eye. Lack of white flanks and presence of chin-strap both rule out ARLO.
