The Pacific Loon was viewed by a number of birders early this morning at the pond between the office buildings on American Road, Morris Plains. Please be respectful of the area if you visit the location.
This is the first record of this species in Morris County. The list of Accepted Records published by the New Jersey Bird Record Committee has 22 accepted records since 1978 through 2011. All are from coastal counties except for the first record in 1978 from Round Valley in Hunterdon and three records from Warren County in 1988, 2000 and 2009.
