OOPS!
After getting photos and showing them to Chuck Gates, Peter Low and Tom
Crabtree, everyone agrees that the injured bird was a PACIFIC LOON. Judy,

Subject: Wheeler county RED-THROATED LOON - in rehab
Bummer, we didn't see this when Wednesday Birders converged on the county
last week. Today Elise Wolf, of Grebe Acres, a local (Sisters, Oregon) bird
rehab facility which Elise operates with help from her husband Whitney, got
a call for help and went to the high school in Mitchell where she picked up
a loon that had been found on the grounds of the school. It was thin but
apparently not injured.
A struggling loon in a blanket is not as easy to identify as a loon swimming
on water or flying, but I thought it was a RED-THROATED LOON. It had gray
nape, rounded gray head, light area below the eye, a very pointed bill, size
of the bill was right, size of the bird OK, smudges on the throat, etc.
Apparently Elise has photos but I have not seen them although I saw the bird
being fed little fish by Elise.
