 I saw a Pacific Loon at Quail Creek Reservoir in 
Hurricane/Washington County on Thursday and Friday.  The loon 
generally stayed around the dam.  On Thursday it was in the company of a 
winter-plumaged Common Loon, and on Friday it kept company with four 
breeding-plumaged Common Loons.  The Pacific Loon has developed the 
pale gray nape, but still sported a white chin, white throat, and 
black "strap" under the chin.
