Bud also did the lovely cover of the MD/DC BB Atlas -- the Baltimore
Oriole.

Hi Folks,

The Pacific Loon is still at the same location reported by Jim Stasz on
Monday.  I arrived at about 4:40 p.m. today to find Wade Stephen (sp?) an=
d
Bud Taylor with the bird in the scope.  It was fairly distant, closer to
the
far side of the river, but still identifiable, and usually in the company
of
a Common Loon in breeding plumage, making the size comparison simple.  In
addition to being noticably smaller, the Pacific had a uniformly dark hea=
d,
nape, and back (from our distance), and the chin strap was noticable when
the bird turned in a favorable direction.

Besides the loons, oher birds in the area were Bufflehead, Ruddy Ducks,
Horned Grebe, cormorants, and Ospreys on every available nesting platform.

By the way, I had not met Bud before, but when I get my next copy of
Birding
magazine, I'll take note, because he's the one who painted the Hermit
Thrush
on the front cover.
