Red-throated Loon still around (Adams)

[Chris Petrizzo]

The Red-throated Loon that Peter Ruprecht identified is still in the area. This morning it was a bit north of the first sighting at 89^th Ave, in the pond immediately south of Elaine T. Valente Open Space and 104^th Ave. I managed to get a few distant photos before it apparently flew off.

 

Also in that general area between 88^th Ave and 104^th Ave this morning, Northern Shrike, Glaucous Gull, Lesser Black-Backed Gull, Horned and Eared Grebes, Ruddy Ducks (breeding plumage), Great-tailed Grackle.

 

Here are the eBird lists with a few pix:

Loon & Shrike: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S53947339

Gulls: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S53949497

(If anyone can help me with the ID of the Gull sp in the second list, I’d appreciate it)

The red throated loon is still in the same place right now. (10:50am) It is on the western third of the pond across the street from Elaine T Valente open space on 104th.  It has its bill on its back and is napping. Thanks Chris!

10 days later and the Red-throated Loon was still there today, 3/31. I visited around 2pm-ish today and the bird was in the western third of that reservoir just south of 104th and the parking area for Elaine Valente Park. Maybe I was lucky but I spotted the bird almost immediately - sticks out like a sore thumb from all the Ruddies there.
