Observation details
Presumably the same individual seen Jun 2. Did not see it at outset but at 9am observed a loon about 3/4 mi south and inshore of the end of the pier. Bill held at upward angle. Basic plumaged bird. White on face extended up around eye. Crown and nape were gray rather than the black tone of Pacific or Common. 6/21 - updated checklist to loon sp - A loon observed on 6/18 foraging along the base of the pier pilings showed white on the flanks and pallor on the neck and head like this bird but bill was too large for Red-throated.
