Folks, Although I did not see the Pacific Loon, I still had a satisfying morning checking out the Susq River today between 7 and 10. I tried a different perspective than that taken by Saturday's birders, and birded from the Harford County shore of the river. Most of the action was from a utility clearing located off of River Road across from the mouth Conowingo Creek (Cecil Co). In the ADC Harford map book, it's Map 6, Block F9. Birds included 13 red-throated loon + common loon 5 horned grebe 1 pied-billed grebe ~10 common merganser ~10 bufflehead 4 black scoter 3 surf scoter 1 ruddy duck Crummy weather for much of the time, but fun birding!
