Red-throated Loon (Gavia stellata), Lake Havasu Site 6, Mohave County

On 2 February 2008 Cindy Radamaker, Dave Powell and Kurt Radamaker found a Red-throated Loon on Lake Havasu, Site 6 overlook. It was photographed by Cindy.  On 6 April, Sean Fitzgerald, Lauren Harter and David Vander Pluym also had a Red-throated Loon at Site 6 and Sean photographed it.  It is unknown if these are the same birds.
