Observation details
Loon species seen at SW corner of lake, at about 11:30, near a flock of about 30 Ruddy Ducks. I noticed it as a loon immediately from a distance, then with my bins I noticed it seemed to be built a bit slighter than a Common Loon. I then took some photos with my ultra-zoom, using it like a scope. Three photos attached. In the photos you can see the chin strap, slimmer bill, blacker back, and light gray cast to the back of the head. The bird may be viewable from the boat ramp with a scope. Conditions were very gray and dark when these photos were taken. The photos are completely untouched except for cropping.
