Observation details
Photos attached. Pale neck and head with dark patch on auricles. This Loon ignited greater than usual coverage by reviewers. It was originally identified as a young COLO by me in the field but, after computer review of photo's, I began to doubt the identification and changed it to juvenile YBLO. The identification was no slam dunk because characteristics of both COLO and YBLO were present. The photo's were analyzed by other experts, painstakingly. The general consensus (although not unanimous) was the bill shape and color appeared to be COLO. I have changed YBLO to COLO to be inline with their findings. .
