This evening I noticed what I would characterize as a "winter plumaged loon" 
associating with 5 Common Loons in full breeding plumage far out toward the 
middle of Pewaukee Lake.  I had my scope cranked to the maximum zoom in an 
attempt to make out details, however the lighting at 6:45 pm was lacking to say 
the least!  I am letting people know so that someone might be able to check out 
the area tomorrow - I would be glad to have led someone to a nice bird!  
There are numerous access points around the lake, but I made my observations 
from the boat launch on the western shore off of Maple Ave.  Also seen were 12 
Horned Grebes, 3 Pied-billeds, 15 D-cr Cormorants, & 5 Ruddies.
Good Luck!
