I saw some seabirds off in the Distance that I thought were Great Cormorants at first. But then I heard a weird sound. Most of the time i only hear gulls crying harshly there, but this was very soft and beautiful. I snapped a shot to see what the bird was. I use my camera as binoculars most of the time now when birding.

I could not believe believe my eyes... A common loon! There were about 6 scattered along the coast feeding... and softly calling now and again. I snapped a bunch of pics and these are crazy crops but I am thrilled. A new Life bird I had always wanted to see and hear...
