Ian Worley posted this note as part of a larger post on Vermont birds list serve. The location is at a narrow part of Lake Champlain where birds readily fly in and out of New York State waters.
"Highlights of the day were two Pacific Loons in non-breeding plumage. One was close enough for excellent viewing slightly northwest of Jones Dock. The other was more distant, in New York waters west of Goose Bay about 1.4 miles southeast of the Champlain Bridge. Given their propensity to travel long distances above and (often) below water even while being observed, their locations may change within this area frequently." -- Folks visiting the area might like to check the New York side of the lake for either or both of these Pacific Loons.
