Subject: Pacific Loon in Allegheny County
Hi,

A Pacific Loon was discovered this morning at Duck Hollow in Allegheny County.

Many birders were able to see it this evening. It was sometimes visible at distance from the parking lot at Duck Hollow looking upriver near two red channel markers. It was also visible from the opposite side of the river behind the condos at the Waterfront Shopping area.  It was surprisingly not easy to find. It was diving a lot and was out of sight most of the time. The bird settled down at dusk and stopped diving, allowing longer views.

This was a first county record for Allegheny!
