Subject: 2/7: ARCTIC LOON in Drayton Harbor, Blaine


> Tweets,
> A winter plumage ARCTIC LOON was seen in Drayton Harbor along the north
> Blaine waterfront on Thursday afternoon by Bob Sundstrom while leading a
> VENT tour group. Bob describes the location as in the bay along the road
> that goes out to Drayton Harbor at Blaine's north end. It was first seen
> at close range from a vantage point just before reaching the wooden dock
> that one can drive out on. From its original location in the bay just
> north of this spot (approx 70 feet away) the bird moved further out and
> was observed near the base of the spit. This area is across the bay from
> Semiahmoo Resort. Bob's email: ixoreus AT scattercreek.com. He returns
> later in the week. Good birding!
