Red-throated loon or Common Loon? (From MA)


Recommended Posts

Usually I don't have a problem differentiating these loons, but I'm a little confused with this one. I'm leaning towards a red-throated loon based on the thin bill (although not as thin as I anticipated), lot of white on flanks, more upright posture of the head. Perhaps this one is an immature? The adults with a whiter face are more obvious to me.
