A collection of thoughts and photos of my life and work in the northern Great Plains of North America (and occasionally other places in the world).

Red-throated Loon
Yesterday I received a report of an immature Red-throated Loon at Lake Elmo State Park, which is just a few minutes away from my house. I headed out to see what I could find and had a great morning birding around the lake. It included good looks at the Red-throated Loon.
Most of the time he was towards the middle of the lake, but late in the day when I returned he was foraging close to shore. This is the 16th recorded observation of this species in Montana.
There were quite a few Yellow-rumped Warblers around the lake too.
