Bald Eagles hunt here too, so this Loon is very wary.\u00a0 This appears to be a non-breeding plumage bird- sex unknown.\u00a0 I watched it for about 20 minutes today, and got photos of it taking off, and\u00a0 flying around. Like all Loons, it needed an extensive runway and much foot-paddling before it was air-borne. It landed downstream a ways. I suspect it saw something I didn&#8217;t- just a few mallards flying by.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><div class=\"photocrati_nojava\" id=\"gal_images_1008_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/rt.loon.pre.flight_1468.jpg\" class=\"nextgen_pro_lightbox\" id=\"img_1008_1_1\" rel=\"gallery_nojava_1008_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/thumbnails\/rt.loon.pre.flight_1468.jpg\" alt=\"Red-throated Loon in Vermont\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/rt.loon.pre.flight_1469.jpg\" class=\"nextgen_pro_lightbox\" id=\"img_1008_1_2\" rel=\"gallery_nojava_1008_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/thumbnails\/rt.loon.pre.flight_1469.jpg\" alt=\"Red-throated Loon in Vermont\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/rt.loon.take.off_1486.jpg\" class=\"nextgen_pro_lightbox\" id=\"img_1008_1_3\" rel=\"gallery_nojava_1008_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/thumbnails\/rt.loon.take.off_1486.jpg\" alt=\"Red-throated Loon Take-off\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/rt.loon.take.off_1479.jpg\" class=\"nextgen_pro_lightbox\" id=\"img_1008_1_4\" rel=\"gallery_nojava_1008_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/thumbnails\/rt.loon.take.off_1479.jpg\" alt=\"Red-throated Loon Take-off\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/red-throated.loon.flight_1588.jpg\" class=\"nextgen_pro_lightbox\" id=\"img_1008_1_5\" rel=\"gallery_nojava_1008_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/thumbnails\/red-throated.loon.flight_1588.jpg\" alt=\"Red-throated Loon in Flight\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/red-throated.loon.flight_1585.jpg\" class=\"nextgen_pro_lightbox\" id=\"img_1008_1_6\" rel=\"gallery_nojava_1008_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/thumbnails\/red-throated.loon.flight_1585.jpg\" alt=\"Red-throated Loon in Flight\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/red-throated.loon.flight_1582.jpg\" class=\"nextgen_pro_lightbox\" id=\"img_1008_1_7\" rel=\"gallery_nojava_1008_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/galleries\/post-1008\/thumbnails\/red-throated.loon.flight_1582.jpg\" alt=\"Red-throated Loon in Flight\" \/><\/a><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\t\tjQuery.noConflict();\r\n\t\tjQuery(\"#gal_images_1008_1\").hide();\r\n\r\n\t\tfunction iframe_1008_1_loaded()\r\n\t\t{\r\n\t\t\tvar iframe = jQuery(\"#g1008_1\");\r\n\t\t\tvar height = iframe.contents().find('#content').height();\r\n\t\t\tiframe.height(height);\r\n\t\t}\r\n\t<\/script><div class=\"iframe_wrapper\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\ndocument.write ('<iframe id=\"g1008_1\" allowtransparency=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/galleries.creaturekinships.com\/index.php?display_gallery_iframe&amp;gal_id=1008_1&amp;gal_type=2&amp;gal_cap=OFF&amp;gal_page=false&amp;page_template=false&amp;bg=000000\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0 auto;padding:0;border:0;clear:both;background:transparent;\"><\/iframe>');\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Red-throated Loon is a rare bird here in the White River Junction area of Vermont.
