Observation details
State lifer! Continuing juvenlile bird, first reported on WyoBirds Facebook page on December 14. First winter record for the state, and first eBird record from any season. Actively swimming and diving in the river just below the dam, where it offered superb views for an extended period. Small loon with small rounded head and slender bill held slightly upturned. Chin, throat, and front of breast pale off-white. Top of head and back of neck dusky gray, not sharply contrasting with pale front (compare PALO). Back and wings slightly darker gray, with the appearance of fine white spotting created by neat pale edging on coverts and scapulars. Flanks showed some pale coloration. Photos.
