Détails de l'observation
During a good passage of Pacific Loons this morning--some 20,000 birds in the first hour--Karl Bardon and I noticed this loon that stuck out from the rest. It was by itself, unfortunately, but seemed a bit bigger, more heavily-built and lumbering in flight than Pacific, with more extensive white in the flanks. We couldn't find a Pacific Loon in the subsequent hours that had as much white in the rear end as this bird. With 250,000 Pacific Loons moving by Pinos each season, we're expecting to get an Arctic eventually, but I'm not confident I'd be able to pick it out in flight. I've only seen a few Arctic Loons and none has been in flight. This is the first real candidate that we've seen in three fall seasons of counting at Pinos. Accepted as Arctic Loon by the California Bird Records Committee. I have retained the original notes above.
