I just heard that there is a possible Pacific Loon in NJ. Maybe it's our fella? Hmmmm, I would appreciate an accounting of all these extraordinary loons? Is it the same bird moving around? I'd like to think that the rapid dissemination on the WWW of rare or unusual species has something to do with the fact that more are being reported....and verified. Or is some natural phenomena responsible for this dispersal? Any ideas??
