Common Loon (left) and Pacific Loon (right)

פרטי השורה

Continuing bird. Loon seen far out towards the northeast side of the lake in the company of two Common Loons. Distant views with 20-60x80 spotting scope. Cloudy conditions made for good balanced viewing. Compact loon with distinct cobra-like puffy round head held horizontally, slender bill, dark above, pale below, and characteristic well defined clean black and white unbroken border to neckline. Contrasting silver pale gray crown/nape could be seen at times. Good comparative side-by-side study of Pacific vs Common today. Size and structural differences between the two species was well defined. Photo'd.
