Hey, David. Your photos and video will be great additions to the
TBRC report that someone is hopefully preparing on these great birds.
Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge.
Speaking of reports, the TBRC is about to start it's annual round of
reviews. I'm hoping to start sending out reports to the Committee
members this week. It's still not too late to get your reports in,
including one for these Pacific Loons. Report forms, instructions
for filling them out, and the Review List of species that the TBRC
requests documentation for are all online at the TBRC page on the
TOS website (www.tnbirds.org).
