I have just returned from my area on the Wahkiakum CBC which includes
Blind Slough. I have about 8 minutes worth of video of what I believe
to be an ARCTIC LOON, but it appears to be a different individual from
the one seen by me on Saturday. This bird shows distinct white side
panels that flare at the flanks. In a rear in shot, white can be seen
easily on both sides of the rump. The bird carries its bill pointed
upward and the head shape is as described in Birding.

I suspect that as more birders become comfortable with the field
marks for Arctic Loon, they will be shown to be regular winter
visitors.

Does anybody know how to do video captures to computer?
