Below are ones I found at Lake Hartwell, GA. Seven total seen that day (Feb 17, 2015). More
photos of distant ones. I have found record numbers at this location over the years. I typically report at least
one starting in November. I have noticed their numbers typically swell as the winter goes on. Oddly, I am basically
the only one reporting these (though some have been relocated by other birders), so I am glad to get photos when I can. -

Three Red-throated Loons at West Point Lake on March 5, 2007.
Michael and I had already found two there towards the start of the winter, and they have hung out for a while, but
three at one location inland is quite a treat.
Red-throated Loons are notoriously hard to photo.
Here are some Red-throated Loons that Michael and I have found inland recently.
They are considered rare to very rare inland. I assume many are overlooked though considering that I've had ten
or more sightings in the last year, and Michael has found some also.
(They are uncommon on the coast with Tybee Island being the most reliable place to spot one.) - Eric

This one was a juvenile plumaged bird.
Last week we found an adult.
