Folks, The Red-throated Loon was closest to the lake loop point. A better look from the south shore makes me think the bird is in a transitional plumage. It shows a solid dark back and no white on the gray head, face and neck. There is a remnant red patch on the throat. The 3 Surf Scoters are juvi/female types and in the middle of the lake along with the many ducks and grebes.
