Vermilion Flycatcher & Pace Point Loons update:

I just received a call from Jeff Wilson, who made back up to Pace Point
this afternoon. On the way over, he stopped and had the immature male
Vermilion Flycatcher at Lake O'Neal again. Regarding loons, it looks
like there may have been a movement of birds into the area. He had poor
conditions with lighting, rain, and fog as well. Jeff had 200 loons late
this afternoon, with 30 on the Rocky Point side, where lately there
haven't been being over 1 or 2. Only 1 bird was on this stretch of water
yesterday. With the dark conditions a lot of the birds spent their time
sleeping while Jeff was up there this afternoon. On the Rocky Point side
he did have 1 Pacific Loon, and on the TN River side, where most of the
loons are still using, he had 2 Red-throated Loons. Jeff hasn't seen the
Yellow-billed this afternoon, but heard that some people from PA were
down on Tuesday or Wednesday and had the bird then. More people will be
looking tomorrow so hopefully it will turn back up.

Good birding!!
