Hi: A pair of Black Scoters swimming amongst a lot of Western Grebes in the northern half of the Res. The female is distinctive
One juvenile Pacific Loon also in the northern half. The Loon is about the same body size as the Western Grebes, but structured differently. At just the right light conditions shows a slight contrastingly grayish hind neck, but at most times the head just appears dark. The bill is difficult to see at a distance as opposed to a larger, more noticeable Common Loon’s bill, the squatter size is apparent as opposed to the W. Grebe.
