[cobirds] Pacific (?) Loon at Terry Lake, Boulder County

Yesterday evening and this morning, I observed a loon at Terry Lake that appears to be a Pacific Loon.  At times, the bird does show considerable white on the flanks, which makes the ID more interesting, but I'm currently attributing the white flanks to the bird rolling over slightly.  Other observations would be appreciated.

Terry Lake is a private lake near Longmont with only limited and distant scope viewing.  Clouds help viewing considerably.

Also, Bonaparte's Gulls have arrived in good numbers at both Terry and McIntosh Lakes.  We can hope they will invite some of their rare buddies to the party.
