Pacific Loons (2) at DeWeese Reservoir in Custer County

[Jerry DeBoer]

This afternoon between the hours of perhaps 12:30 PM and 2:30 PM, I chased 2 uncooperative loons around at DeWeese Reservoir in Custer County. After a number of distant looks, I'm convinced they are both Pacific Loons. Also present were an avocet, Sandhill Crane, Semipalmated Plover, Forster's Tern (3) and Common Tern (1). As with most area reservoirs, the water is low and shoreline habitat is good.
