|
Pacific Loon
|
Twelve Mile Lake
|
Twelve Mile Lake, Union Co., IA
|
Artificial lake, fairly deep water, typical of southern Iowa lakes.
|
The documentation form by Thomas Kent is the earliest and the one that forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Jim Fuller were submitted later. | Elimination of similar species: We based our identification on size, small uniform bill, lack of white around and in front of the eye, sharp separation of light and dark on the neck, and fine chin strap. The bird was too bulky for a Red-throated Loon and did not have a very thin, upward pointing bill. We were more concerned about excluding Common Loon. The Common Loons we saw later at Rathbun Reservoir had white around the eye, more irregular and less distinct separation of light and dark on the neck, and much more massive bills with bulbous thickening near the tip. | The original documentation form event lasted from 07:25:00/07:40:00.

Compared directly to a Sanderling, this bird had a longer neck, a dark cap, a black spot around the eye, and darker upperwings which were particularly visible in flight. Red-necked Phalarope (which would be even more unusual at this date) was eliminated by bill size and shape and unstreaked mantle. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:35:00/10:15:00.
