BIRD STUDY GROUP
I figured that the loon was a bit late and sure enough, ebird flagged it. Have
seen a loon at Kincaid Reservoir a couple of times now since late March but
hadn't found one all through the fall and winter. Just saw a flash of white in
rough water and saw the loon momentarily before it dove. Didn't even see it
with binoculars. A bit later, I saw it resting on the surface.
Can't seem to buy a Bank Swallow this spring.
Good Birding,
Jay Huner
