Observation details
Wayne Patterson found a Red-throated Loon here this morning. I came much later, and had lots of boat traffic - which meant fewer loons. Anyway, I noticed a loon that was much smaller than neighbiring Commons. White cheek and thinner up-turned bill were notable even at 400 yards. The bird never came closer than that distance. Lighting was poor, but I digiscoped anyway. Now (March 3, 2020) when reviewing these images, the bird in photo is clearly a Common Loon. so, I either uploaded the wrong photos in original post, or I incorrectly identified the bird. I will have to find original video and photos to see what mistake was made. Until then, it is safer to change ID to match photos in the post.
