All, I also re-found the COMMON LOON today at Whitney Point Dam and I had a good enough view to confirm it was in non-breeding plumage. I could not find any other loons as my friend indicated that he saw 2.
The bird was seen well from Keibal Road. I took some backlight digiscoped images. They are not that good but document that it is in non-breeding plumage. http://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/sets/72157630236878108/ Dave Nicosia Johnson City, NY -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
