Summer Plumage Loons



 Major treat.  I'm used to seeing loons in the winter in Lake Hartwell.  But I've never seen a loon in summer plumage.  Yesterday we saw two, in Adams Reservoir, Woodford State Park, Bennington, VA.  And the icing on the cake:  We heard them call also.  They were too far away to get great shots, but we could tell what they were.  Bucket list birding item fulfilled.
