I studied a group of three summering loons along the north shore at Bodega Bay this afternoon (July 3) which seemed to include three species, our long lingering Yellow-billed, a nice Common Loon coming into alternate plumage, and a third bird in basic plumage that to my eye was slightly smaller and less robust than the Common and which tipped its bill up slightly and showed bold white flanks, all suggestive of an Arctic. I've posted a number of photos of all three on my e-bird list below with commentary. The third loon is posted as loon sp./Pacific/Arctic. Opinions welcome.
