Detalles de la observación
As I was walking along the dam to the west PL, I saw a Loon near the Haunted Tower. I was thrilled that it was only ~50 m away. I watched it for awhile, took a few so-so pictures, then continued to the west PL. Forty minutes later, walking back along the dam, the Loon was only 10 m from the shoreline and ~20 m perpendicular distance from the walking path on the dam. I estimated how far the Loon was swimming during each dive. I positioned myself so that I would have the sun at my back and the Loon right in front of me when it surfaced from its next dive. It worked. I got my best picture to date of this magnificent bird in full alternate plumage. [NOTE: This is the fifth time in five years that I have seen Common Loon at Lk_Yos. I had one in 2017; none in 2018; one in 2019; two last year; and one today.]
