Observation details
Lifer! Continuing bird found by Kaplin Yalcin. Great bird, Kaplin! Roughly same size and shape as common loon. Juvenile (?) or non-breeding plumage. My pictures show reddish eye. Sibley guide shows adults with red eyes and juveniles with dark. If so, points toward adult non-breeding. Overall dark back with white/black speckled stripes. Brownish flanks; buff nape. Dark crown. White throat. Thick, long pale yellow bill -- thicker than Pacific and with somewhat of an upturned appearance compared to common.
