After twelve consecutive days, it appears that the juvenile Pacific Loon has flown from the pond on American Road, Morris Plains. Despite searching for twenty-five minutes at 5:00 p.m. by me and by Tom Johnson later, the loon did not appear. If the loon’s departure is true, then: farewell young Gavia pacifica. Your visit is memorable for many.

Reported earlier in a post, Tim Vogel did see the adult Pacific Loon at Lake Parsippany today. The Boonton Reservoir adult is unreported today, probably due to a lack of searching. Here is the Loon Map.
