Pacific Loon at Lake Nockamixon ~ May 28, 2022
Andrew Harrington found a different-looking loon at Lake Nockamixon, which was soon confirmed by other birders to be a Pacific Loon. I got to the marina at around 2:00 and joined others watching the bird on the southern side of the lake. The pale gray nape and thin neck gave the bird a 'cobra' look, and the necklace on the throat was faint but noticeable.
Around 3:30, a light shower moved through and the bird took off, circled higher and higher, and appeared to head off to the north.
This bird represented one of only a handful of records for the area.
