This angle shows the auricular patch well, and pale posterior auricular region.
Observation details
While looking for the loon Mathew Zappa found last night, I came across this loon in the morning, with a few other birders, but discounted it as a Common Loon. Thankfully others obtained doc shots this AM and the consensus later in the day was likely YBLO. Quickly made my way back and was able to get on it, along with many other birders. Gave great looks too! Features supporting YBLO: pale bill with yellow tip, pale culmen w/ black not extending to tip, feathering extending to point below nostril, white eye ring, discrete auricular patch, pale posterior auricular region, and cross-banded mantle.
