[Birdnet] Yellow-billed Loon

[Larene Wyss]

I also was able to see the loon this evening around 7:30.  Thanks to a man named Jeff who had just seen it, I didn't have to walk a mile to where the bird was earlier in the day.  Just shy of 1/4 mile from the end of the pavement as described by Dave Hanscom, there is a 2-track that leads toward the lake and old Highway 40.  After it turns into a single-track, you can continue down to a point where the Common Loon and the Yellow-billed Loon were at.  The GPS coordinates of this point are:

UTM: 12 T 0464752 4500287   (Map Datum WGS 84)

By then the wind had kicked up and both birds had their heads tucked in.  Occasionally, the Yellow-billed raised his head for a clear view of the bill.  Not the ideal view, but it was nice to see it in breeding plumage.
