Sorry for the late report, but Lynn Bergmeyer reported to me yesterday that she had a huge brown loon with large yellow bill in the Genesee River channel at Charlotte, Monroe County on Monday March 4th. There was also a Red-throated Loon in the channel that day, which she eventually saw and declared different from the bird she had had. She also ruled out Double-crested Cormorant. Her description fits Yellow-billed Loon most closely. In case the bird is still around the area (circling the lake?) I thought I'd get the word out for people to keep their eyes open for it.
