I did not see the Yellow-billed Loon in the last few days. In the last three
weeks I have talked with four other birders who have seen Yellow-billed
Loons from Point Wilson to Point Hudson. The two times I have seen them was
right off Point Wilson 100 yards or so and about 350 yards to the north from
Point Wilson.The image I posted on my flickr page looks like an immature
bird.
