Just got a call from Dave Irons. Him and Shawneen just spotted a YB Loon off of the Empire Sewage Treatment plant near where the C. Eider is. Interestingly, I had been in the same spot about an hour earlier with KnuteAndersson and Lois Miller and pointed out the same brownish loon, with a yellow bill to them although I decided it couldn't really be a YB Loon as I thought the bill wasn't large enough. Lois took some photos of the bird I think, it was a ways across the bay though. Nice find Dave and Shawneen!! I obviously need close supervision... Tim R Coos Bay
