Off Wisconsin Point on Thursday, Steve Betchkal, Storme Nelson, a group of birders from Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary, and I saw three Red-throated Loons, way way out. They were far out, the light was horrible, and one loon kept its head pointed up, so I double-checked on my digital photos and had to do a lot of over-exposing and adding fill light to make sure these guys were definitely Red-throated Loons rather than cormorants, but yes, they definitely were.
