Observation details
Five near the east boat launch area and two in the west end of the lake. In the right light their head has a green cast to it. Hard to see the red eye when the head is shaded. One that was separate from the other four and in the Potato Creek conflunce was playing with it's food. It had a dead fish and was repeatedly dropping it in the water and picking it up again. It did this for several minutes. Must have finally swallowed the fish because it stood up in the water and flapped it's wings. Got pictures.
Video of the Loon playing with it's food. Starts about 15 seconds in, after I find the bird.
