Red-throated Loon, Larimer

Dave Wade spotted a breeding plumaged Red-throated Loon opposite Boyd Lake State Patk north most parking area (Willows Landing). The bird has not moved much in the last half hour. Entrance fee. Scope needed.

Cole Wild and I scanned the Lake from the Northeast side for about half an hour at 5, but we're not able to relocate the bird.

It felt like Alaska today at Boyd Lake in Loveland, cold, gray skies, sideways rain, whitecaps and a Red-throated Loon! Unfortunately, that same weather prevented any good looks of the breeding plumaged beauty. I can only say, I think I caught a couple of glimpses of it's namesake red throat. It was last seen about the middle of the lake on the north end from the northern  most parking area of the state park. Here is the best photo I could manage:
