MWM Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I was taking pics (after sunset) of the Long-tailed Ducks. Didn't notice the Loon until I got the pic on the computer. Any way to tell if it's Common or Red-throated? (Leaning towards Common, any other than COLO/RTLO would be rare). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Don't think we can tell from this photo. Wait for others opinions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan B Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 This is a Common, that bill is way too heavy for Red-throated. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Thanks, just goes to show you, pay attention to your surroundings. 🙂 Same thing happened to me last week, going through sparrow photos & a Red-winged Blackbird shows up in one of the frames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 As @Aidan Bsaid, the bill is too heavy for a Red-throated. Head too chonky for Pacific as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
