LOONS, GREBES and CORMORANTS. Several Common Loons re- 
mained well beyond their normal departure dates; June records were even 
common. Three Red-throated Loons (one in near-adult plumage) were 
observed in McLean County, 16 April (D. Birkenholz). Single Western 
Grebes were documented at Lake Springfield, 22 April (D. Bohlen) and in

two appeared at Springfield, 12 April (D. Bohlen); the only one reported 
from northeast Illinois was seen at Plainfield, 18 May (M. Gossmann).

field at an exceptionally early date, 5 April (D. Bohlen). Overmigrant Little 
Blue Herons were seen at Wadsworth, 14 April (G. Rosenband) and in Ogle
