Red-throated Loon seen just now at north end of Boyd Lake (off Mussel Beach, swimming south). Distant photo attached. State Psrk pass required. Approach main entrance from the south (road is closed to the north).

Greetings birders, Georgia Doyle and I refound the Red-throated Loon that Nick saw yesterday on Boyd Lake. After thoroughly  searching the south end without luck, we relocated to the north end and found it there. We saw it from the northern most parking lot on the west side but unfortunately, the bird was across the lake on the east side. The distance, lighting, and steady wind were not in our favor so we thought moving to the east side would improve our looks. The loon obviously wanted to spoil that plan, of course, because by the time we got to the other side, it had moved across the lake to the west side. At least we had confirming looks at it but no photos, sorry.
