Hi Ed,
Too bad Jon's Pacific Loon didn't stick around for the weekend. I think many people (me included) are awaiting your photos of Saturday's bird to allow comparison with Jon's excellent collage of stills posted on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thrasher72/8254290738/in/photostream/. It would be a valuable learning experience for all of us for future ID challenges.
Cheers,
Frode Jacobsen

When the fog lifted enough to scan the area we observed a bird from a distance that aspirated to be very similarly marked as the bird in question. It eventually swam to within 50 yards of us.at that point the bird that we observed was clearly a Common Loon. I'll be examining and posting photos that were taken Saturday morning later today.
