Just talked to Jeff, and he had 4 species of loons again late yesterday 
afternoon. The Yellow-billed was seen again from the road as you drive on 
around past Rocky Point and get to the hill where you overlook the wide reach 
of the Big Sandy. The Yellow-billed came into the roost area a little before 
dusk. Jeff then had both a Pacific and Red-throated just before dark back at 
Rocky Point; still over 500 loons in view from a single location. Also of note 
at Big Sandy Unit was a single female Common Merganser amongst the horde of 
ducks below the observation deck at Bennett's Creek Overlook. He said Britton 
Ford was literally  covered with ducks, and the Black Scoter I saw a week or so 
ago was still present. All of this is of course in Henry Co.
He is at Pickwick today in Hardin Co, and had a young Lesser Black-backed and 
what he described as a gorgeous, classic young Thayer's.

I'm really bummed about all the birds I've missed now since my fender bender a 
few weeks ago.........Hopefully I will get a little birding in shortly in NE 
China if things go as planned.

Good Birding!!
