Re: [mou-net] Juvenile plumage Loon in Rochester
I have records of Common Loon in juvenile plumage staying on a pond in Lower Grey Cloud Island, Washington County, for several weeks if not months during a summer.

Re: [mou-net] Juvenile plumage Loon in Rochester
Also, I would say to check the MN Loon Monitoring Program data but I don't think juvenile designation on the form refers to sub-adult birds. Maybe there are notes in comments.

Re: [mou-net] Juvenile plumage Loon in Rochester
Greg, I would say that it is an occasional occurrence, and based on work in the cranberry area of central Wisconsin, it wasn't unusual to encounter maybe a half-dozen juveniles during the spring nesting season. I would assume the same for northern Minnesota. I think the tendency is for them to forage almost exclusively in neutral waters and avoid territorial interactions, if they should venture back close to natal areas. Overall though, the general pattern of them staying on coastal waters holds true, and based on radio-telemetry work, even there they display vagrant tendencies.
