Observation details
I discounted this bird as a Common Loon as it came down from the sky, but knew it wasn't as soon as I got my scope on it in the water. Graham Gerdeman pulled up seconds later and confirmed the bird as my lifer Red-throated Loon. The bird spent more time below the surface than above making viewing difficult, but when it was up it was close enough (at times) for decent views and pictures. A small loon with a petite bill held at a slight incline. Extensive white on neck and face, extending above the eye.
