We took a trip to LSP this morning for our first birding outing in NJ this migration. It is a little early, but the weather was nice. Hermit Thrushes were plentiful and we are better at identifying them now.

Red Throated Loon


We're back home in New Jersey. Lake Nelson had a few visitors today who are very infrequent: A lone ruddy duck and a lone red-throated loon. Four hooded mergansers arrived. The wind may have blown them off course. Of course, the resident cormorants are still active and the kingfisher also is out.

Red-throated Loon at Barnegat Lighthouse

must confess, i don't think this is a red-throated loon. bill is too heavy and curved with not upturned appearance.

Definitely a Common Loon: blocky head and stocky bill.

Somehow these pictures are the second and fifth results on google images for "Red-throated Loon winter" - it might be nice and less confusing to some if you correct this.

These images are Common Loons, not Red-throated.
