SBBers,

Knowing what good eyesight Frank has, I was puzzled that initially he thought that he saw a non-breeding instead of a breeding-plumaged Common Loon in Shoreline Lake. Now I know why. There are two Common Loons in Shoreline Lake, one in breeding and another in non-breeding plumage. I have a question. At this time of year does one assume that any Common Loon that is not in breeding plumage is a first summer?

This morning, Monday, May 22, at 9:40 I saw what appeared to be a non-breeding Common Loon on Shoreline Lake. But it was too far to be sure with binocs so I bicycled home and drove back with the Questar. At 10:30 I found a brightly breeding-plumaged Common Loon! As I watched I heard (and saw) him give his eerie yodel!

P. S.: I recently did not receive my SBB e-mail for over a week. When they finally showed up all at once, I found that NONE of them had dated their submissions. It was very confusing as to who saw what, when, and whether it was now too late to follow up on a sighting.
