    My wife & I saw the loon at Cesar Chavez yesterday. I'm no loon expert, 
    but it looked like an immature red throated loon to me.
    
    BUT
    
    More important, when it raised up in the water & flapped its wings, and 
    it did this frequently, the wings looked very truncated. It looked like 
    a loon version of a thalidomide baby. Either it has a birth defect or it 
    has been captured & had its wings clipped. I find the latter guess very 
    unlikely.
