The RED_THROATED LOON reported by Jim Forde earlier was still present as of around noon today. I scoped it from Sandy Beach. It appeared to be about equi-distant from Sandy Beach, Twin View Hts., and Scales Point. It is a long distance from any of those points and a scope is necessary to view it.
It is quite a bit smaller that a common loon and swims with its bill tilted upward.
