Jane just emailed me that there was a message on our answering machine from Paul O'Brien at the Sea Breeze with John Gatchet (Idaho birder). They said the loon looks good for a YBLO (John has seen lots), though there's a lot of shimmer. Anyone interested should immediately bail from work! Wish I could. OBTW, the Kelp Gull is there too. Ho hum ;) Good Birding! Tyler Bell mailto:bell@acnatsci.org California, MD http://www.audubon.org/chapter/md/smas/
