Thanks to Jon Ruddy, Ron Tozer, and vicariously to David Allen Sibley,
the report of a Red-throated Loon in Popham Bay yesterday needs to be
deleted. My misidentification of a Common Loon in an unusual plumage
led to the error, for which I apologize. The world is too full of
similar species, not just swans, dowitchers, /Empidonaces/, and fall
warblers.
