I didn't take this shot, my son did, last Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't taken at the marsh but on the Annapolis River. I wanted to include it here as I've never seen one of these birds before, and I imagine not many people have. It took some time for us to identify the bird, but we're almost certain it was a red-throated loon. Apparently they are seen here in the province in the spring and again in the fall, during migration. They breed in the far north and winter along the Atlantic coast. This one is not in breeding plumage, so doesn't have its red throat yet.
