Howdy, I seem to just have my timing wrong -- when I was at Harveysburg, there was no loon. Ah, well. The sunrise was beautiful, this morning, and he Lesser Scaup was VERY accommodating for photos once the sun was high enough. I believe I passed another birder on the way out as he was coming in. At any rate, here's what I found. It was pretty active this morning.
