Observation details
All but 1 constantly showed conspicuous amount of white on flanks, & sometimes at rump at water line. It seems to be a molt timing issue. I think it very likely that the white rump visible on many of the Common Loons could lead to their mis-identification as Arctic Loons. Here's a document on distinguishing Arctic Loons: http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~ctlee/BirchLeeLoonBirding.pdf
