Red-throated Loon

 

I don’t usually post about my day-to-day activities however recently I had a pretty good morning birding along the bay here in Sarnia. A Red-throated Loon was certainly the highlight. Although we have observed Red-throated Loons in our travels this was certainly the closest encounter we have had.

The bay was a good walk this day as I also observed a Common Loon, a White-winged Scoter, a Lesser Scaup, Mallard and Black ducks, Red-breasted Mergansers, Bonaparte, Ring-billed and Herring Gulls, all while a Black-legged Kittiwake cruised back and forth along the waterfront. All in all, a pretty good walk.
