[obol] Benton County possible Loon

[Rich Hoyer]

Jim and All,

I have seen Common Loon migrating northward, high overhead, and in full 
song. My guess is that you really did hear a Common Loon!

I ran into Bing Wong at Fields today. He told me about his rescuing a 
Common Loon off of Highway 20 in the Lake County portion between Bend 
and Burns.

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?
