Yesterday's Red-throated Loon was the 8th record for Prospect Park. Now ...thats rare. Normally Common Loon is our more usual species but a Red-Throated Loon hits the bell.
Here are records I brought up plus a link from Picasa from my friend Doug Gochfeld. Its a cool thing to have rare visitors to Prospect this time of the year ( or anytime !).
