A group of us from Rainier Audubon were birding from Salsbury Point
County Park 9/30/95 near the Hood Canal Bridge and saw a loon in full
breeding plumage whith a yellow bill. Does the common loon ever show a
light yellow bill in breeding plumage, or is this a yellow-billed loon?

Has anyone else out there been birding this spot and seen it?
