I saw a Pacific loon off the Texas City Dike yesterday. It was half-way or a little further from the beginning, on the south side. We had seen two common loons and about 62 eared grebes before finding it. It both had the right bill and head markings and was noticeably smaller/but stockier than the common loons and moved a little differently. One of the party took pictures and will send them to me soon.
