Red-throated Loon?



Greetings!
 
I was curious about the report of the Red-throated Loon so I went to check it out today.  The only bird I saw was a Double-crested Cormorant.  I observed it in perching, swimming and flying positions.
 
Just a note of caution.  This pond is part of the Riverton City Water Department substation and is completely fenced in.  Although you can see most of the pond by pulling off the Bangerter Highway (which I don't recommend), the only access is through a gate which is locked most of the time.  I just happened to luck out and run into a nice city employee who allowed me to enter the premises to check out the bird.
