Hello Tweets,

Michael Price and Jack Bowling posted information regarding Y.B. Loons
having a hump on the head. The Y.B. Loon I photographed off Smith
Island has a hump on the forehead, but the bird photographed in Ollympia on
Nov. 15-16th did not. I believe it's the male that has this feature, so if
someone could possibly transmit the information about the Y.B. Loon onto
TWEETERS I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
