This bird's bill was more like that of a Eared Grebe; that is, very slender and not as loon-like as that of Pacific Loon. Pacific Loon's bill looks like a small Common Loon.

| Event Remarks |
First viewed from the east with the bird backlit, the bill and general shape of the bird was quite clear. At this time the loon was within one hundred feet (estimated). I moved to the west, and viewed the bird with the sun behind me. From this vantage, the red color on the throat was quite clear. 7 x 26 binoculars, 25 x Bushnell Scope |
