Today at about 4PM while atlasing in Block 53D6SE in northeast Jefferson County, we encountered a Common Loon in non-breeding plumage, diving and apparently feeding, close to shore near the confluence of Goose Run with the Ohio River. This location is just a short distance upriver from the Sammis Powerplant at Sratton, Ohio. The unusual summer visitor was drifting downstream when we departed to continue atlasing.
