12/17/03 Port Rd Overlook Henry Co. A quick run up to the Paris Landing vicinity on the afternoon of 12/17/03, produced an adult basic Pacific Loon from the overlook on Port Rd. The loons were scattered around the areas, in small groups, but the Pacific was feeding by itself when I saw it. I had the bird in view for several minutes before it worked out of view to the south. This bird wasn't far at all from the location we had a Pacific over the weekend at Rocky Point on the Big Sandy Unit refuge, and also wasn't far from the location that Hap and Roseanna had a Pacific at Eagle Creek as well. Not much more of interest, a couple of nice rafts of Red-breasted Merg's and 6 Forster's Terns gracefully winging over the river. Good birding!!
