Pacific Loon at Quail Creek



I saw a Pacific Loon at Quail Creek Reservoir in Hurricane/Washington County on Thursday and Friday.  The loon generally stayed around the dam.  On Thursday it was in the company of a winter-plumaged Common Loon, and on Friday it kept company with four breeding-plumaged Common Loons.  The Pacific Loon has developed the pale gray nape, but still sported a white chin, white throat, and black "strap" under the chin.
