[Maine-birds] Re: Pacific Loon - Hills Beach in Biddeford Pool

Sorry folks, I think I jumped the gun on this one. After reviewing my photos further, the bill size is much too large for a Pacific Loon and I believe the bird I saw was a first summer Common Loon.

I birded Hills Beach and the Basket Island causeway this afternoon as the tide was coming in. Around 3:15pm, I located a small loon that was actively preening and bathing close to the shore of Stage Island. Based on my photos and observations, it appears to be a Pacific Loon. The bird was still present when I left around 4pm. 

Photos and notes can be seen as part of my eBird checklist;

Happy summer birding!
