A lifer for me - Red Throated Loon - in non-breeding plumage

 I learned of this loner bird that was spending a long time at Pt Rowan.  During my first visit, this loon was hanging around a Common Loon.  It is considerably smaller and holds its beak upward.  On my second visit, I spent an hour with it.  After a short while, its curiosity got the better of it, swimming and feeding up close.  And yes, at this time of year, there is no red throat.
