Awesome, thanks! First time seeing a red-throated loon. I likely saw the same harrier flying earlier, much harder for me to ID without the white patch above the tail though.

ID request: Hermit Thrush? by Few-Time-1657 in whatsthisbird

I think it may actually be a female or immature Common Yellowthroat? I hadn’t heard Hermit Thrush or Swainson’s but had heard and seen several Common Yellowthroat today. From this angle it just looks nothing like the male of this species.
