Here’s that picture I took at Harwichport Harbor yesterday of what looks like a Common Loon (Gavia immer).
¹ From the size of the bulge above the bill, it’s probably a juvenile, less than a year old. This is actually cut out of a much larger image, which you can find here; even that copy is flattened a bit to get it under the 1MB limit I’ve set for uploads.

¹Back in England Loons are called “Divers”; the Common Loon is known as the Great Northern Diver. This reminds me of a wonderful series of books from my childhood, Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons; the final volume was Great Northern?
