Observation details

Possibly two YBLO, maybe juvenile or 1st summer, seemed a little lighter than what field guides suggest as adult-non-breeding. Both had barring on their backs, pale neck, darkish patch on auricular and massive yellowish-pale bills. YBLOs were swimming and diving near a COLO, the YBLOs were distincively larger and with bills larger and tips pointing upwards.
