[obol] Benton County possible Loon

I know we've been having weird weather patterns, but we just had a bird loop high over us, calling in flight, that sounded exactly 
like the 'laughing' call of a COMMON LOON.  We couldn't spot it through the low scudding cloud cover.  There are precious few ponds 
nearby, the only significant body 2 miles distant, the 6 acre Corvallis watershed reservoir, and then the twin treatment ponds of 
the PHilomath sewage ponds about 5 miles away.

Is there anything else out there that makes that wavering call?
