Tom called on Friday with news of a Glaucous Gull at Lake Havasu. He had to chase this, his 450th Arizona bird. I went with him and we had the bird at the Pittsburgh Point lighthouse, courtesy of Lauren and David, when we arrived at 9:00. We then went to Bill Williams and, courtesy of helping hand from the iPod, had the Nutting's Flycatcher by 10:30. A short drive to Havasu Springs and a scan of the lake yielded the Red-throated Loon, on my third trip to find it!

This took me to 590 for the year with 347 in the U.S. and 276 in Arizona. The gull and loon took me to 112 lifers for the year. In addition, the flycatcher took me to 24 new state birds for 2011.
