Marion and I found the Pacific Loon Sunday morning (Nov. 28), about half
way between the Baldfriar Road entrance and the down-river entrance. We
searched from about 9 AM to just before noon from both entrances, seeing
relatively few loons, and no other birders. The bird finally appeared near
two or three Common Loons, more-or-less midway across the river.
Fortunately the light was still good and we had excellent views of the
plumage and structural features. Marshall Iliff joined us and the three of
us watched it for 20 minutes or so. It did a lot of taxiing over the water
surface, and finally took off, made several long, round-about, circuits up
and down the river, and disappeared in flight, heading toward Pennsylvania
when we lost sight of it.
