Observation details

Continuing, first observed by Tom Pirro 11/05/17. I observed it for quite awhile, joined by Bette Robo. Very good scope views. Clearly a loon and clearly not a Common Loon. Smaller, paler and less bulky than a Common Loon. Thin bill was angled upwards, not held horizontally. White cheeks, white breast and white on lower sides. Gray upperparts and head. Pale gray neck. Plain, unpatterned plumage.
