Loon

Not a great photo but the best I could do at the end of the day.
I went to the beach with Minty after work and saw this guy down there.
I have never seen a Loon on Long Island before!
What was it doing in the salt water and why was it here all by itself.
I am concerned it might have been injured.

A lovely bird and an interesting commentary.

Great shot, Jane! The Minnesota state bird is the Common Loon here. V

What a great sight; loons will be found in salt water before breeding season. Possibly this one was just stopping over before carrying on to a freshwater lake somewhere. V

always a treasured sight...it is in breeding plumage, so seemingly rife for adventure..

Certainly off course but looks like it's in pretty good shape.
