[Birdnet] Yellow-billed Loon still there

[STEPHEN T CARLILE]

The Rockport Reservoir Yellow-billed Loon was still there when I left at 6:00 p.m., Monday, 18 May.  Glen Barlow, David Hanscom, Carol Gymn and another copule from Kamas (sorry but my name retention is terrible) were also there.  Once located it spent most of the time with a Common Loon at on the north side of the reservoir near the dam at the mouth a little cove.  It would dive frequently and stay under for quite a while.  So be patient.  When the fishing boats moved in the bird moved more to the center of the reservoir and dived less frequently.  Also at the reservoir were several Clark's Grebes, a Rock Wren on the dam feeding its young, and a very cooperative soaring Golden Eagle.  A great birding day for me.  The loon was a Lifer for me as was another Lifer, the Northern Parula Warbler, I saw with Dennis Shirley's GSBF Trip.  A 94 species total for the day.

Thanks,

Stephen
