Hello Tweeters -

This am, after spending some time on the beach, admiring the Olympics and seeing "who" was out on the water, I spotted a Loon. Unfortunately, high tide limited my access to getting closer, so the following pic is the best I could get. I would love anyone's input regarding this loon.

In addition to this little guy, there were a few Common Goldeneye, a single pair of American Wigeon (down from the 165+ we had here for a few months), and a solitary Horned Grebe enjoying the calm.

Best,
