At least two 2 Red Throated Loons were noticed by myself and a friend at Shirley's Bay this afternoon. They were diving in the area between the boat launch and the tall weeds on the left. They were observed from 1:00 - 2:15. Although not all that far out, my lens was not long enough to produce half decent shots! :-(
