Subject: [IBLE] White loon at CJ Strike Reservoir in Owyhee County
On January 30 I posted on the Idaho Rare Birds Facebook page about an all-white loon at Cove Recreation Site on CJ Strike. I have been contacted by biologists who banded a young white loon last year. They asked if I saw any leg bands in the event it lifted a leg out of the water to stretch or scratch its face. I didn’t see any bands.

If anyone goes out to see it, look for leg bands and note the color of them as well as the leg they were on. Also, try to compare the size of it relative to the other loons in the area.

Very interesting bird for sure.
