  16. Pacific Loon

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    While watching the GBBG I noticed a bird swim by in the fog that was shaped like a Red-breasted Merganser (larger body, round head, and small thin bill) though it look to have smooth head (not the messy hair look of a merganser). I watch it as the fog changed densities and notice it was a loon not merganser as I first thought. I added the best picture I could get which shows the head with dark strap of neck typical of nonbreeding Pacific Loon. There was one reported at this location in previous days.
