A bit off topic but I follow the Minnesota Bound "Larry Backlund's Loon 
Cam/Blog" and today he posted the following. Fun to hear this kind of 
stuff.

"Today there is also news that Loon #55489 just moved from the Gulf of 
Mexico to southern Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio.  So if you are near 
Lake Erie, you may want to make a trip down to the shore to see if you can 
spot some of the loons on Lake Erie.  And if one of them has an antenna 
sticking out of his back.... looking like your kid's radio control 
car ..... that is our loon #55489!
 
He apparently did it in one of those marathon flights and may have flown 
all the way from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Erie in one non-stop flight."
