Alan Bland photographed a COMMON LOON at Rocky Branch Park, Beaver Lake, yesterday. Alan is long time Ranger for US Army Corps of Engineers (Retired).
We have seen them in Arkansas, in summer, on occasion. These seem to involve individuals that did not make the complete northern migration. One explanation for this is that they are young birds that have not yet obtained a territory in northern breeding habitat.
