  1. must confess, i don't think this is a red-throated loon. bill is too heavy and curved with not upturned appearance.

  2. Definitely a Common Loon: blocky head and stocky bill.

    Somehow these pictures are the second and fifth results on google images for "Red-throated Loon winter" - it might be nice and less confusing to some if you correct this.
