The loons I saw were probably common loons. They were out towards the middle of the lake so I didn't get the best look at them. Their heads were completely black; lacking the white face typical of a red-breasted loon but they did have some white on their throats. Their breasts were completely white. Remebering the bill size of these two birds, I think it is more than likely that I saw common loons. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
