AlexHenry Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) 3 is definitely not Ring-billed... maybe Herring? 4 is definitely Red-throated Loon Edited January 22, 2021 by AlexHenry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can’t find one myself I've only see one flock of three myself, and that was on a New England trip three years ago.
