Common Loon (Gavia immer) in breeding plumage

This Common Loon was taken at Lighthouse Park in Point Roberts, WA. I lay on the beach as he swam on by.

 

There were also many other good birds out including Red-breasted Mergansers displaying and Common Loons and Red-necked grebes in breeding plumage. There were also Harlequins, Buffleheads, Brant and Pelagic cormorants, Surf Scoters, Bald Eagles, Barn Swallows, American Goldfinches and Savannah Sparrows, 150 Brant geese and sea lions! A great day to be birding at the beach on Earth Day!
