Phil, I thought I remembered that a Yellow-billed Loon was seen 
somewhere along the Susquehanna River near Conowingo Dam about 8 years 
ago, but I can't find any reference to it in the documents you 
mentioned.  Maybe I'm just mis-recalling the Pacific Loon accepted from 
1999.

Thanks,
	Bob Hartman
