Loon question..common vs yellow billed
Usha posted a topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Saw this very deep diving loon today in maricopa county, Arizona. Saw it come up only once in 30 minutes when I took photos. Bill looked yellow but thought it was because of morning sun. Common loons are there and saw a few. Since this loon was a deep diver, went back to same location and spent 45 minutes only to see it dive but didn’t spend much time on water to get photos. Enclosing photos I took the very first time I saw it. I am thinking it could be yellow billed based on photos but it would be mega rare here. Appreciate any comments,suggestions,ID.- 2 replies

Sorry for poor heavily cropped photos the bird was pretty distant. Which loon species - is that some white I see showing on the flanks? Or just Common?

Thought Red-Throated Loon because of upturned bill and pale appearance. Seen at Port San Luis, Near Avila Beach, CA on Dec. 1st.
