Red-throated Loon (Gavia stellata), Patagonia Lake State Park, Santa Cruz CountyThis Red-throated Loon was
found and photographed by Cathy Beck on 22 November 2019
and photographed by Max Leibowitz on 23 November 2019 Casual late fall through winter visitor to Arizona though recently it has been annual, particularly along the lower Colorado River primarily on Lake Havasu. This is a first county record. Upturned bill and pale gray head and throat lacking
sharp contrast between head, neck and throat. Weak
facial contrast, dark throat spot, and limited back
spotting indicate a bird in juvenile plumage.
