[nysbirds-l] Further analysis of loon, sp?/Pacific Loon

This morning, I paid a visit to the Sands Point Preserve, in between visiting my wife at the hospital who is trying to recover from a very serious surgery. I didn't expect to see much here in February but a Horned Lark that dropped into the parking lot at 9:30 was completely unexpected at this

[nysbirds-l] OCWA-Suffolk County

For those out east today, there’s an OCWA visiting the suet feeder at the South Fork Natural History Musuem in Bridgehampton. I didn’t see it on the feeder myself, but in some juniper trees with Chickadees just off the pond. -Chris Sent from my iPod -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

[nysbirds-l] Loon, sp Sands Point Preserve

I got a last look at that loon before losing it for good and am now walking it back to loon, sp. until I can do a bit of research late tonight. Sorry for jumping the gun but was sure enough at the time . Strange bird. Sent from my iPhone, I think. -- NYSbirds-L List Info:

[nysbirds-l] Pacific Loon, Sands Point Preserve (Nassau)

Sharp two toned neck, weak chin strap, gizz obvious. Close to shore (200 ft) but very difficult to track because of extreme long distance dives (popping back up like 1000 ft away 1-2 minutes later). In fact I’ve lost it again, last seen swimming west towards Glen Cove. I’ll try and write more
