Folks have given good information about the no-show of the
yellow-billed loon through 11:45, but one more thing to note is that
Marshall Iliff, the finder, came to the location and spent several
hours looking with the rest of us. He remains confident that the bird
he saw monday had the field marks of a juvenile YBLO, and that the
common loon we were looking at was not at all the bird he had
yesterday in good light and for two hours. There's a lot of water
that one can't get to by road,, so the bird could be anywhere.
