Rare sighting of a red-throated loon

We don’t get many red-throated loons at Salthaven. They’re a rare sighting in southwestern Ontario, typically only seen during migration as they use the Great Lakes during their trek. They usually migrate along the coast.

This non-breeding adult spent a few days with us, worn out from her journey, but after getting a good rest, she was happy to continue on her way with a good stretch of her wings.
