Yellow-billed Loon - Chatfield (Douglas/Jefferson)

[Kathy and Jeff Dunning]

All -

Many thanks to all who posted today about the Yellow-billed Loon. My
current work-schedule allowed my only a brief timeframe in which to go
see the bird and I appreciated the information flowing to cobirds as
to the best location to see the bird.

I initially found the bird halfway between the Handicapped Fisherman's
Platform and the dam tower, but the bird was actively diving and
moving about long distances when underwater.

Eventually the bird ended up very close to the platform along with one
of the Common Loons present allowing for outstanding comparisons and
photographs.

Great bird!
