Hi all,
 Another word on this loon. Though we first read about it here on  MDOsprey 
from Bob Ringler's report, it is my understanding that it was first  seen on 
Wednesday, Nov. 17 by Denise Gibbs (naturalist at Black Hill) when she  did her 
waterfowl survey that day. Sally Ann Waldschmidt accompanied Denise to  help 
scout for the MOS trip there yesterday, and reported it to me Friday  evening 
via e-mail. It was seen midway between the Rt. 121 bridge and the  dam.
 
Maybe Rob or Denise Gibbs can offer us more info on this sighting, and  any 
others that Denise may have had over the years here for this species? Some  
sightings may have fallen through the cracks?
