Observation details
Continuing rarity seen in the same vicinity as previously reported. Smallish loon (smaller than Common Loon). Appears to be a first summer bird. White throat with brown “necklace”. Flecks of red feathers starting to show on both sides of white patch on throat and a few hints of red in the center of the necklace. Bill is narrow and held at a consistent raised angle. Appears to be the lower mandible which gives the bill an upturned appearance. Seen from shore at 30 meters.
